So I was scanning my computer checking for virus, spyware, etc etc.
Report shows that I've a spyware known as a "Tracking Cookie". Definition: Tracking cookies track your web browsing habits. Tracking cookies are browser settings giving advertisement websites a unique id for the user. The tracking cookies are constantly re-added when you browse the web. I try deleting it, but it won't work. Anyone know how using Shaw Secure or any other way? Thanks. ![]() Oh, and by the way.. does anyone know any information on this "Tracking Cookie"? Is it harmful to my computer and will it remember my e-mail passwords and all? |

It doesn't harm your computer that much.. It just keeps a record of what websites you go to and sends it to some people.
I use SpySubtract, which came with my computer. It works pretty fine and deletes everything that I tell it to. I recommend SpySweeper or something like that. Yeah.. If you want to delete it so badly, go to C:\Documents and Settings\COMPUTER USERNAME HERE\Cookies and delete it by hand. If it still doesn't work, then it might be because it's on another user account on your computer, which I don't think you can delete. Or it's undeleteable (is that a word?). |
