Dax Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Spybot: Search and Destroy kills most of my tracking cookies. Not sure how good it is, though. I've just used it since I got my computer because my dad uses it. #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just used it since I got my computer because my dad uses it. I was just about to post that. Seriously. Spybot rapes all of that crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Seems like you have some adware. I would unistall AVG and get something better like Microsoft Security Essentials or Avira Antivir. Also tracking cookies are not dangerous, they cannot do any harm to the computer, although it is good to remove them if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracion1 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Avira's free AntiVir personal is pretty good, I've used it for a couple years now as a replacement for Norton and it's done just fine :) "In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasignhagj Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Tracking cookies just track which sites you visit. If your browser is redirecting you to spam sites, you probably have a browser hijacker. It happened to me, they are a pain to remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
