    Browser problem?

    I had a problem recently with Gmail and finally installed Google Chrome to make it work right. I was using IE7 previously but have been using Chrome since about Nov 4/10.

    Today, I ran Spybot Scan and much to my surprise it came up with 5 Problems:
    All Browser entries:
    4 AdBrite,
    6 CasaleMedia
    1 DoubleClick
    4 Mediaplex
    7 Zedo

    Spybot scans seldom came up with any problems when I was using IE7.
    However, I had changed Cookie settings to allow 3rd party Cookies in my attempt to get Gmail to work properly. So, should I change settings to Not Allow 3rd party Cookies now? I'm thinking that is what I should do.
    Your advice please.

    Thanks.

    I always block all 3rd Party cookies and blocking them should not affect GMail access (in Chrome anyway).

    Be aware that apart from normal cookies there are also persistent cookies.
