I never surf the net in windows anymore due to these kinds of problems. I build a cheap used computer system around Linux Fedora, which has yet in over a year even sniffed at a virus.

I picked up several of those in the last few years. At work where i am forced to use Windows, i have both Avast AV, and antisuperspyware running full time, and i still get tracking cookies and stuff like you have regularly, but i run a seek and destroy mission with ASSW, and delete them.
