Well, turning off cookies is not an option.  Even legit websites don't allow access with cookies off.

So, I loaded VmWare on my Windows XP Home computer.  I then loaded windows 2000 and windows XP in 2 seperate VM's.

I use one for checking email and official stuff on the net.

I use the other one for surfing, this way if there are BS cookies loaded (or trojans) they can't harvest passwords or personel info.  There is nothing in the VM for them to find>:-)  fsck the people writting this code...they are low lifes!

BTW, you can run linux or BSD in a VM with VmWare.  I know OpenBSD 3.4 works:-)
