How to maintain your cookies/spyware

[TheLP]

Im having a problem with cookies and spyware and since some of you know alot about computers I figured I'd ask you folks. My problem is when I go to internet options and I put block all cookies I get no spyware, but at the same time at places like this when I try and login as soon as I try to go to the forum Im automatically logged back out. When I do High, the spyware still gets through. I had ad-aware but running after im done using the internet EVERYTIME gets tidius. Anyone know what to do?

Run the free Lavasoft Adaware from time to time. It works great, and won't toss the cookies governing any sites that aren't spying.

You can run Ad-Aware in the background after you're off the net. You don't have to stop working.

There was a threead on security earlier, right here

I strongly recommend an on-line check-up at pcpitstop.com which will highlight any possible security holes you may have.

4 things:
1.)Dump IE and run Mozilla. (mozilla.org)
2.)Download Spybot Search and Destroy from cnet.com
3.)Download Spyware Blaster from javacoolsoftware.com
4.)Drink a beer.

Make sure that you update Spybot before scanning your pc.

Thanks karel, the pcpitstop helped, all of my major things where working fine they just suggested I was using to much MB on my internet and i agreed so i lowered it......I download Ad-aware professional, how do you make it so thats its running the backround? I thought it would be a no-brainer Idea but I cant find it newhere.....Unless its ad-watch in which case doesn't work that great.

What I mean is you just run it when you're off the net, and carry on working as normal. It will scan your files in the background, and give you a 'bloop' when it's finished. Not recommended when you're actually running PT. Updates available daily (except weekends).
