    Spybot should prevent some of the cookies at least so long as you use its IMMUNISE feature regularly

    Download SPYBOT (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION' ~ make sure TEA TIMER is UNTICKED on installation)
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_spybot_search_destroy/
    UPDATE and IMMUNISE (Make sure it reads ZERO unprotected) and SCAN

    Then all you can do is keep updating malwarebytes and superantispyware to attempt to kill the root cause (And make sure you run FULL scans with them). Id update and scan every week or so

    thanks alot u have been a great help through all of this. seeing as the keylogging seems to have been shown to be a false positive im still wondering about the padlock symbol. kinda strange guess all i can do is wait and see if it reappears although i still get https and pop ups saying im in a secure site. all abit strange

    Try FIREFOX instead

    you will be happy to know the norton has gone and i installed kaspersky internet secuirty today. its very detailed if not a little confusing with all the extra details and reports but certainly seems way better and more professional than norton. one thing though does it have a section where it says how long is left on your subscription as i cant seem to find that and does it have an option to turn on/off the security pop ups that say u are entering a secure site. . im also now using firefox instead of IE and its alot quicker than the old ie. but although when i first installed firefox the padlock symbol came back it went again after i scanned with norton. so i thought it may come back after getting rid of installing kaspersky but nothing, still seems abit strange but i have been told aslong as the httpS is there its ok. ? think ill stay off the internet banking fora while lol
