During a scan, cookies are skipped-over. Anyone else
having this problem? I use Ad Aware, Spybot Search and
Destroy and Spyware Blaster consistently, however this
application found many spyware applications that were
missed by all three. So far, so good.
 
No, Cookies aren't specifically Spyware, but let's take
DoubleClick (you can go DoubleClick and Opt Out) and
other's for instance, they track the sites you visit and
report back to home on your browsing profile - does it
tell you it's doing it, No!, sorry that's spying.

All Antispyware Software should clean cookies unless you
tell it what ones to leave, or not to do it.

Alternatively, make an entry to your host file, to make
them report back to the loopback (127.0.0.1), the big
blackhole on you PC Network.

Hi Pat,

There is no scanning for cookies in this version of the beta. Watch for it
in future releases tho.
