look in programmes control panel look see if anything that is just been added, or something you didnt download! failing that go to internet options and review pop up levels in privacy! can block specific sites as well

You should never blindly accept cookies from any site. In Tools, Internet options, Click the Privacy tab. Click the Advanced button. Put a check in Override automatic cookie handling. Then, First party cookies, prompt. Third party cookies, block. Click OK.

Back to the General tab. Under Browsing history, put a check in Delete history on exit, then click the Delete button to remove everything right now. Click apply then OK.

Restart IE.

Now, when you go to any site, IE will prompt you to accept or deny a cookie. Unless it's for a trusted site like your bank, or whatever, deny them all.

You should also give another browser a try. Firefox, as a prime example, lets you pick and choose which cookies to accept, accept only for the session (e.g. are deleted when you close the browser), or deny. This can be done on a site by site basis. There are also extensions that make managing this quite a bit easier, and even an extension that keeps a permanent opt-out status for some of the more onerous sites. There's several other security related reasons for dumping IE in favour of pretty much anything else. You'd be well advised to use IE as sparingly as humanly possible.

Thanks, just done all that, and had a request for cookise from this site which I declined.
