Now why would my browser try to "preload" something. One more time. I have my system set to PROMPT if a site tries to load a cookie. If you have all cookies blocked you won't see any attempt since you set your system to block them automatically.

I dunno dude, by when I try a telnet'd connection to that webserver asking for the GIF all I get is this:

GET http://www.sonicwall.com/products/images/pic_TZ150.gif
GIF89a] ....gif garbage deleted...

No cookie, this isn't even using a browser so ummm yeah :) can't get much simpler than that can it now?

My computer was recently infected with SpyAxe.  I got rid of that, and a bunch of other stuff by using this spyware removal regimen at MajorGeek's:

Spyware Removal

It involves going into safe mode and doing multiple scans with various antispyware and antivirus programs provided for free, (Ad-Aware SE, CCleaner, Microsoft® Windows AntiSpyware, Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, SpyBot - Search & Destroy, Hijack This!,CWShredder, Kill2me, BitDefender and Panda Active Scan) then disabling system restore, rebooting and enabling system restore and creating a fresh clean restore point that will not be harboring infectious matierial.

What was surprizing to me is that even though my freshly updated ad aware, updated spybot and updated Norton's antivirus gave me a clean bill of health, an additional 47 infections were discovered and eliminated by following this procedure.

I'm using sticking with Firefox and Thunderbird....  IE only when absolutely necessary.

Vulcan, there is a cookie coming from sonicwall.  You might have to open the images directory at their site to see it, if you are using telnet.
