Yes do as Sho-dan says, Also I am not sure atdmt the cookie is anything more than harmless, I myself spent months trying to remove it from my system only to work out that it was loading up as part of MSN (I believe it stores your log in info) and its is owned by Microsoft as noted here hXXp://whois.domaintools.com/atdmt.com. So even though my hosts has it as blocked it never is blocked when I log on to MSN.

Good luck
