Does your Clickbank's affiliate links being blocked by IE6?

Hi,

I am using Firefox all these while...

But recently, when I tried out my hoplink in Internet Explorer 6, the browser blocked all the cookies from clickbank.net. This means that my nick will not appear at the payment page and even if the customer bought it, I will not get my commission also!

Does anybody encounters this problem?
Or is it my browser's problem?
I checked it out, my security and privacy settings are all at default settings.
Hmmm...

I guess I know what's the reason.

It seems that the anti-spyware Spybot Search and Destroy will block cetain cookies from entering your system if you use IE

There's a function call "Immunize your system" in the menu. If you do that, Spybot will block all the cookies that they think is undesirable quietly. Clickbank cookies are one of those that are being blocked!

So, if your customers are using spybot and his default browser is IE, and he happens to purchase the products that you recommended, YOU are missing out your affiliate commission!

Oh my gosh!
