Have installed above in the last 5 days, and then ran
same. It says no problems found or words to that effect. I then ran Ad-aware and it found 5 critical items, not unusual, and I quarantined them. I have a few days later performed the same operation and your programme failed to find anything, but Ad-aware found 2 critical items (data miner usually) I hope above is of help to you. |

Already been reported about a thousand times. The beta version does not yet look for tracking cookies. |

Hello Michael
If you don't want the cookies, adjust your browser privacy settings to not accept 3rd party cookies. It's that simple.

A cookie is not spyware! It's just a cookie. AdAware makes it look like
these things are evil. If you're that afraid of cookies, as Monitor suggests, set your browser to not accept them. Then, neither product will find them!

Hi Michael,
In the Beta1 version, the program doesn't go into the cookie jar, nor does it chase data miner objects.
