Cookies deleted using Remove All Cookies keep coming back
I tried to delete all cookies using Tools->Options->Show Cookies->Remove All Cookies. But all deleted cookies keep coming back after few seconds. I suspect there is a malware doing this. I run into this problem in the past. It was caused by an AddOn called something like * xg.dll by Relevant Knowledge. When this add-on was removed the problem went away. But now, it comes back again.

Thanks. I did found it yesterday. I disabled TACO a month ago because I can't logon to my account on COMCAST, but it seem it got activated again inadvertently.
