I KEEP running that AVG SCAN on my computer, every time I get 30-50 of these tracking cookies. Apparently they aren't really destructive, but they definitely slow your computer down somewhat. As it runs better after these scans. How do you get rid of them for good??


Thank you in advance

Everytime you go on the web you pick some of these cookies up. They dont do much damage but it can be accumulative.

I have also been using AVG. They keep showing me pop ups where they have protected me from one million problems. The thing is it is coming up time where they want you to buy the product and the free time will be up.

Its good for them to have cookies. They probably are among the ppl that slip them on the web for all the suckers like us.

I know its being cynical , but thats just me.

They are crafted in your request and they are on every site. You can configure your browser to throw a modal dialog to prompt you to accept them. After a day of surfing you will probably turn it off. Below is a snip of what cookies are set for this site w/o being logged in. It's the way of the web my friend.
