Cookies are not being handled right now, but it has been reported on this NG
that they will be handled in the final edition. (more than likely ... LOL)

Cookie scanning is supported in this release. If Spyware has detected false
positives, please report it here:

"I'm afraid cookie scanning and removal was intentionally removed from the
functionality of this beta. It is under consideration for inclusion in a
future beta version, but I've not heard of any decision about that, or when
such a version might be released."

But then he wrote later on in the same thread:
"It's high on most peoples wish lists. Microsoft is reading the feedback
posted here." (referring to cookie handling)

Hi Anver,
In the Beta1 version, the program doesn't go into the cookie jar, nor does
it chase data miner objects.
It's not going to hurt to run both.
