That appears when Internet Explorer has blocked cookies according to your security settings. Perhaps Spybot: Search & Destory or SpywareBlaster blacklisted the cookies for you, or perhaps you have prohibited cross-domain cookies.

Cookies can be used to track which sites you visit, but that is not their main purpose. They will not infect your computer with anything. In general, sites that use them are not trying to spy on you. Since IE blocked the cookies, there is no problem.

Don't change any of your settings. Everything is working fine. You don't want to block all cookies, that will break a lot of things.

I recommend you just ignore that symbol. Many people have caused trouble for themselves when they change their cookie-related settings.
