Angry Unwanted cookies that won't go away

I unsuspectingly opened a spam e-mail with an innocent looking subject and was hit by a blast of non-stop porno sites that wouldn't stop. Had to shut down and re-boot to regain control.

No doubt that was a great joke to whoever sent in my e-mail address but now I've got a problem. I continue getting adverts for weird sites in my e-mail. Some are porn some are funny and others are just sick. Maybe I annoyed a member of the cult of the dead cow or something? Anyway, searching for a worm, 'Opt-Out' reported cookie links in the "Temporary" internet files sub-folder "IE5" The problem is these won't delete.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of these? I've used 'The Cleaner' tried moving them into another folder and tried renaming them first. I've renamed the folder as 'Tempoary Internet Files.old' and created a complete new folder but the old folder will not delete and as soon as I log on to the internet the cookies are back in the new folder (and still in the .old file!)

Any suggestions?
