Can anybody tell me how to configure Microsoft
AntiSpyware to identify and remove tracking
cookies...like the way AdAware does?
 
In the Beta1 version, the program doesn't go into the cookie jar, nor does
it chase data miner objects.

Click to expand...

Microsoft already provides options for cookie handling in Internet
Explorer, so they're not needed in Microsoft AntiSpyware.

To remove all cookies:

1. Click Tools | Internet Options.
2. Click Delete Cookies.

To block tracking cookies:

1. Click Tools | Internet Options | Privacy.
2. Click Advanced.
3. Select "Override automatic cookie handling".
4. Under "Third-party Cookies", click Block.

If you look in the folder where you installed the program
you will find a video clip file named "scan_cookies" which
is the animation we will see when the cookie scanning is
implemented.
