I believe it was the Switch program that was on the computer. I uninstalled it and it is not coming up in the Panda scans anymore. The only question I would have is would it still be listed in the registry? And if so, do I have to do anything with that entry?

It was probably an oprhaned registry entry

SpyBot detected tracking cookies
Those harmless
You should be blocking most of those if you have set Spybot to block all bad pages silently. You can take an additional step to block more of them by going to Tools > Internet Options and click on the Privacy tab. Click on the Advanced button and put a check in the box by "Override auatomatic cookie handling". Under First party cookies set it to Accept. Under Third party cookies set it to Block. Also check the box by Always allow session cookies. After changing these settings you may find that you cannot access certain sites.
