    I have been running routine sweeps of my computer after running the how to protect myself from malware but every time I run spybot I see the same results and they are as follows:
    Advertising.com
    Avenue A, Inc.
    Doubleclick
    FastClick
    Hitbox
    MediaPlex
    SexList
    SexTracker
    ValueClick
    Is there a reason these entries always show up even though I've taken the steps in the how to protect myself thread?

    They are just cookies. If you surf, you will have cookies unless you totally block all cookies. But if you do block all cookies, you will not be able to enjoy most websites.
