I can't find three files that have been detected by Pest Patrol (free version)

windows@advertising[1].txt
(e-mail address removed)[1].txt
windows@doubleclick[1].txt

I can't find them by opening the c:\windows\cookies\ folder,
or by using Windows Scout.
I also tried to make visible all invisible files for the map \cookies.

Pest Patrol says they're there, but I can't find them.
They're also invisible to the Cookiemonster program.

Also, there is a registry entry for Alexa Adware.

It's probably finding history of them in your registry. What option to
you get from Pest Patrol? I'm not familiar with the product. Maybe it
will clean entries from the registry?

They may be in IE's cache - the "temporary internet files" folder.

Open a DOS box and type the following three lines:

move "c:\windows\cookies\windows@advertising[1].txt" c:\windows\temp
move "c:\windows\cookies\[email protected][1].txt" c:\windows\temp
move "c:\windows\cookies\windows@doubleclick[1].txt" c:\windows\temp

Do you mean the Eval version?

Probably deleted by CookiePatrol, part of the product.
