W2k sp4 on a little desktop system, AVG, Sunbelt PF, Sypbot, etc.
Every Sunday I run a "smart scan" with Lavasoft Ad-Aware (8.1.2)
and, finding only cookies, get a list like:

Note multiple entries for such as 2o7, klo.
I block entities like 2o7 with Firefox 3.0 and they come back the following
week.
"Accept third-party cookies" has been unchecked for many moons.
Anybody know how to identify "Family Name" (if necessary) and effectively
block
such cookies on a permanent basis? Is there an upper limit on the number of
blocked cookies with Firefox?
Thanks,
David
