tracking cookies

[Guest blb]

EVERY time Norton does a scan, I get a flag that there is a "tracking cookie"

that needs to be removed... every time I remove it - it re-appears. Is there

some way that there is software on my system that can be 'tracing' what I am

doing? and how do I find out?

Thanks for the help !

If you are running something as simple as AIM... you will get a

tracking cookie every time it starts.

 

Tracking cookies aren't the end of the world.

RE: tracking cookies

 

I use CookieWall - http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/cookie.htm

 

AnalogX CookieWall allows you to quickly and easily decide which cookies can

stay on your system, and which cookies should go - once you let CookieWall

know which ones are unwelcome, it does the rest. CookieWall can be configured

to delete cookies as soon as they arrive, to notify you of any new ones, or

just que them up for you to check out at a later date.

CookieWall is currently only compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer

or derived versions (such as NeoPlanet); Netscape support should be available

in the near future.
