I have completed two offers for people on Gratis sites. I've greened on one and am yellow on the other.

Before hitting these sites with the other people's referral IDs, I lowered my IE security settings just in case, and now I've got some nasty cookies that act as spyware, redirecting my browser randomly.

If I've already signed up for both these offers, it's safe for me to delete existing cookies, right?

Thanks!

yeah you're good......just remember to put your security back up also.

maybe download Ad-Aware SE, or Spybot Search & Destroy if you cant get rid of the spyware......they're both free and really good.

Yep - ran both and only found one spyware program. The rest was suspicious cookies.

Thanks!
