everytime I log out of here, and close down my computer, I'll run adaware without fail there will be 2-4 tracking cookies.
Sometimes my firefox cant be started again,so I download it again,during the set up it tells me firefox is still running???
But I closed everything.......Any thoughts?!

I don't believe you are getting those tracking cookies from the Yahoo site itself. You are obviously surfing to other sites and picking them up that way. I have never had any tracking cookies show up from using Yahoo and the sites it provides links to. If you are viewing sites that some people mention or provide links to then that is most likely how you are getting those cookies.
You might want to increase your malware protection by adding some programs that will preclude those items from being downloaded or isolates them before they can get established on your PC.
I got these recommendations a year ago from a IT site that I am a member of. I have been running them since then and have had very little problems/issues with malware. They are not all free but are all available from http://www.download.com
AdAware Pro SE FREE
Spy Sweeper $29.95
Spyware Doctor $29.95
SpyBot Search & Destroy FREE
AVG Antivirus FREE
Run them faithfully on a weekly basis or whenever you think you might have exposed yourself to potential malware.
Hope this helps.

Cookies are traces of where you went on the net. Thats now a problem thats completely normal and nothing to worry about.

I think there is problem with your system only. Coz it never happened with me or any of my friend....
