I just had a similar situation.

Download temporary file cleaner. Set the cleaner on default (the way its downloaded) and remove the cookies and files. You will lose your cookies and have to begint to sign into sites, the first time, but its a great trade off if it works. There is a cookie that gets access to your web cam, you dont want that.

It would be a shame for calmat to loose all his good cookies, after just sorting them under your expert guidance.

But, as you say it is a fair trade of, if no other method works.

Thanks Kesume, with your post, I just realize that Calmat,is the one that I gave the advice, to.
I thought that deleting the cookie would prevent that problem. I told calmat that there was one cookie that I did not like, and that was the one. I thought that deleting the cookie would resolve the problem.
Calmat, take a look at CC, what cookies are there now? Im wondering if it returned.

You are absolutely right richc it would be a trade off.
Just thought if any other method/solution would save his/and your, hard work.

But if 'push comes to shove' it'll have to go!

If it does return, I would look at my above post and try to shut off the feature that turns on your webcam (that acutally frightens me). The virtual world is coming into the real world.
If that doesot work, you may have to try to find a susbstitue for Adobe, that is the cause of the cookie. Macromedia (the same company) is a substitute, but may have the same problem.
If you cant go there, you should check on a frequent basis and clear it out with ccleaner or Temporary File Cleaner.
You can also set IE not to allow cookies, but then you would have limited access at many sites.

If you followed the procedure that I gave you, it is very possible that the cookie cannot perform the funtion that it is suppose to, so you may be safe.
The cookies is put there by Adobe Flash Player and I do not think that you want to give that feature up.
The problem with the cookie, if I can believe everything that I read is that it has access to your webcam and can take pictures of you. There are several solutions, you can always make sure that your webcam is off.
You can tape the lens
As mentioned above you can block 3rd party cookies
How to Disable Third Party Cookies on Internet Explorer 7 | eHow.com
As long as you use Adobe, this will cookie will return, so you can uninstall adobe, but you will lose many features that you enjoy.


Note,
I have just discovered that with the new version of Ccleaner, to make sure that you do not lose your cookies, make sure that cookies are unchecked as well as sytem files, a bit further down. I just found out the hard way.
What I am going to do, is leave those two unchecked and then once a quarter use TFC, which is better and that will delete cookies, but do a great cleaning job. Using TFC helps get rid of any hidden virus too.
