Cookies have nothing to do with malicious code getting to execute on
your computer.

There were a few security holes with Javascript and Java a few years
ago, but today, on an up-to-date system, they can't do _real_ harm.

I agree that popping up and resizing windows is annoying, and that some
people (although decent browswers have other means to achieve that) will
even disable scripting to prevent that. That's ok, but it won't do a
thing towards preventing viruses, trojans, and spyware getting into your
system.
