These happen to me all the time, they are considered the lowest risk threat, barely even a threat at that, i find i get them from adverts, if your anti-virus software tells you the URL where you picked it up i suggest blocking all cookies from that URL (in internet explorer: tools %26gt; internet options %26gt; privacy %26gt; sites then type in the URL and press block)

hope i helped.
