Thanks for your suggestions, simbr. I have Adaware SE Personal and Spybot and both have only revealed tracking cookies which I have deleted. When running a Norton virus scan a week ago a non viral infection was reported, Adware.cdt, apparently spyware originating from Mediatickets.com, whoever they might be. I got rid of this and have had clear scans since.

In your first reply you asked if I had cleared the cache. When I said yes I was referring to the deletion of temporary internet files including those offline. I now realise cookies remain in temporary internet files even after this deletion. Are these part of the cache? There does not seem to be a delete cookies option in IE5.5, does this mean they have to be deleted individually?

There doesn't appear to be an option to "Enable third-party browser extensions" in IE5.5. Think I will try either the ie repair or upgrade to IE6 tomorrow. Will let you know the outcome.
