am getting tracker threats am i so thick i cant stand any
more and dont know how to get rid

Most likely it's a tracking cookie.Spybot has a ie plugin
which will give you a message when one is
installed,search there website for it

Spybot "Search and Destroy"

Also spywareblaster is a must have.

Dont fret, they are only cookies. To disable cookies goto

Open internet explorer; goto Tools>Internet
Options>Privacy Tab, move the slider all the way to the
top. (some sites require the use of cookies;if you wish
to check you e-mail for example, so if you can't login to
these pages move the slider down a couple notches.)

Glad i could help,
