The "ad" in ad.m5prod.net says it all. This is a tracking cookie for banner
advertising. If you open the Internet Options icon inside Control Panel,
select the Privacy tab, and click the Sites button, you will be able to
enter this address into Internet Explorer's cookie exception list as an
"Always Block" entry. That will prevent this cookie from loading onto your
system, and it will never bug you with the question again. There are similar
settings within most other web browsers, though I forget precisely where
they are located. Hope this helps some.

Subject: [PCBUILD] ad.m5prod.net wants cookie


Anyone know why this site keeps asking me for a cookie after I go
online?
I've never been there, and the requests keep coming even after cookie
cleaning and reboots.
Googling didn't give me any usable information.
Thanks,
Rob
