tracking cookies register as problems, best thing to do is kill all cookies then
go everywhere you need one and let it set their cookie then lock them up.

@Chewy,

I don't follow. Do you mean block all cookies from IE7 and Firefox then I am lost.

Do you know of any good security add-ons for Firefox if you use it? I turn off cookies most of the time and unclick the 2 JAVA settings in Firefox.

AD Block, Ad Block plus & Ad Block Filter set - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...block&status=4
Privacy and Security - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir.../type:1/cat:12

There are loads to go through, they are easy to try and remove if you don't like them...the best are the first three I listed.

I think what chewy is asking you to do is just clear out all your cookies and then revisit the sites you visit often to reset the important cookies.

It gets scary when I understand your cryptic messages...

I use Ad-Aware SE Plus and set it not to allow cookies on my PC. except the ones I book marked because they will automatically categorised as safe allowed cookie soon you hit the add to favourites tab.
Mc Afee was just as bad in leaving those remnants after the trial period ends. Last time I had to go deep in the registry using windows support tools zapper to clean it up manually. I don't have much of problems with Norton but the auto "quick scan" in IS2007 I can't find where to disable it. It just run as soon I switch my PC on first time in each day and the effect is a delayed start up. In a way was good though because it scans my PC everyday using quick scan.

As long you have the proper tools and knowledge Norton's is not bad to remove from a computer. But McAfee's can be a real PIA to remove even with the proper tools it can still leave remnants of the program behind and can cause some serious problems.

McAfee's came preinstalled on my laptop when I got it, I took it to a freind at work and he removed every trace of it in about 30 minutes and three reboots but it was all gone...he then installed Nortons for me which I'm still trying to get off here. Maybe I should take it back to him.

windows Installer clean up utility (msicuu.exe) did the job for me before.

Bring it back to him lol, just make sure you bring a case of cider with you.

I actually went through my PC and removed everything Symantec and Norton and now the search finds no traces of either...if anything is left, there may be bits and peices floating around in the registry.
