Every night I clear cookies, temporary files, etc before I shut down. I go into Internet Options-Browsing History-Settings-View Files to clear them manually. For the last couple months the file is full of MSNBC files that I get every 10 min, 40 or so image files from MSNBC and 40 or so image files from MSN.com. I don't remember ever visiting MSNBC but I could have gone there reading a linked news page at sometime. Never go to MSN.com either.
This laptop has Vista and I run Windows, Chrome and Firefox. It has Norton and AVG anti-spyware but I ran it yesterday and it won't remove this poop.
I get one of these every 10 min

Expires 2021? WTH?
Is it spyware? I'm not real good at IT tech, how can I lose this stuff?
