I have discovered that I'm getting a load of cookies in the scans which we're doing daily now since this happened. The scan for just today found no [i]viruses[i] but isolated what looks like several hundred cookies into the virus vault. Some of these are Zado, RealMedia24, cookie 2o7, Yieldmanager, etc.
We did two things today. I forgot that we had an inactive Mozilla browser on the bottom task bar, We deleted that and we scanned. I don't know which did the trick,
but things are subsequently back to normal, so I think we're getting to the problem.
I'm thinking that perhaps RAZD's notion was correct. Perhaps the long inactive Mozilla browser was loading up on cookies. Does that make sense?
Abe: I'm very grateful to each one who weighed in on this. Hopefully these loads of cookies will not have a place to load into now. Time will tell if this is the case.
