I haven't gotten malware one from this site. I have the ads blocked through FireFox. Download the Ad-Block add-on from the Mozilla website. See if that helps.
What you've got there, boy-o, is an overzealous scanner, not malware or spyware on this site. Tracking cookies? Like hell. This place gives you a cookie with your session ID and possibly related information in it. Without that ID, the server would have no idea if you're logged in or not, or of maintaining your user information from one page load to the next. HTTP is a stateless protocol.
You contact the server, make a request, get a page, and you're done. Session cookies allow the site to know who you are so that you can simulate persistence. It's normal. Get over it.

I made a mockery of another user that said this site had viruses.

This site is linked with an ad network which is why this is a free site. So it wouldn't surprise me if we are picking up some tracking cookies. I say big deal. So what if they use that cookie to provide target demographic advertising which is pretty much all tracking cookies are used for. If you have an issue with it just delete your cookies everyday. I have news for you it just isn't RJ, it's most of the web. Please stop taking what these spyware programs say so seriously. We use to make fun of people that use to say our software (prodigy internet) had spyware when all it was, was a diagnostic tool.

Tracking Cookies aren't that threatening. Just clear out all your temp files and cookies and that should fix that.

I don't know you, but goddamn....brilliant post. Well done.
*edit: Oh, you're DS's friend. That figures.
Besides, tracking cookies really aren't much of a threat (but do actually contribute to a majority of the spyware/adware you do see.)
seriously, just clean out your cookies and cache, use spybot to relieve of your system of the bad spyware/adware, then immunize. After immunization (bad news it only works on internet explorer tho) spybot will popup claiming a known tracking cookie is going to be installed on your machine and let you deny it as you please. :)

Is she good-lookin?
Yes, I'm that utter rarity on the internet: a real, good-looking geeky girl. Only problem (or, possible non-problem depending on your outlook) is that I'm also a lesbian, but what the hey. Can't have everything.
