[AT] OT - Cookies

[David Bruce]

The first thing I would do is determine if the cookies are really a problem - as 
was mentioned earlier some cookies are not a bad thing but some are.
On my XP2 box (the one I'm on now) I keep current with the updates and I haven't 
seen a great increase in cookies since the last update.  Maybe you should check 
for spyware.  www.tredmicro.com has a good online scanner for viruses and 
spyware. (small download but I use it as a backup to my AVAST! antivirus.
Just something to consider.

It used to be when I would run Ad-Aware I may get 3-4 cookies that Crap Cleaner would miss. Now though it's like the floodgates are open. I disabeled JaveScripts, but noticed that things weren't working like they should be so I switched it back. It seems to have started since I did a Windows update a few days ago, maybe I should do a restore and see if the problem goes away. Thanks for all the help.
