Use and run ccleaner (www.ccleaner.com) to clean useless entries in registry
and cookies folder.
ccleaner will keep your computer free of crab. MSAS is to look for spy.
beta1 does not look for cokkies, butwe hope to see beta2 doing so.

You can open IE, Internet Options; security and the privacy
tabs and add those domains to the restricted sites lists.
Then you won't get those cookies or have those pages be able
to auto-run Active X controls or other crap.

Cookies are history files and are used when you revisit a web site multiple
times. They may contain login information (name and password - if you choose
to save it) etc. If you want cookies removed, use a program that addresses
cookie removal. Ad-Aware se and SpyBot Search and Destroy do this.

The current builds of Microsoft Antispyware don't scan for cookies, nor do
they allow for selective removal. The track remover tool will remove ALL
cookies--and, of course, you'll be sorry you did!

There is a stat for cookies during scans, and you will note that it stays at
zero.

The question of whether or not the product should perform these
actions--scan for, and selectively remove, cookies--is still undecided last
I heard. It is possible that this functionality may be added to the beta in
a later build.
