    I have had this a couple of times. If you allow spybot to fix it, it will remove it. It comes back when you visit the website where you picked it up - possibly one of the photo hosting websites. I don't think the cookie does anything harmful itself, I googled it when I first found it and it doesn't seem to be much of a problem.

    If you can see the domain of the website you can block it through Adblock (for Firefox) or modify the hosts file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc (of course, that means blocking off that entire domain)
