No offense, but I don't want tracking cookies either. What good does it do me to have them on my computer? Nothing...hell, they may even be giving away more information than I'd like. IE-Spyad prevents a lot of these cookies from getting inserted, and good riddance. | |

Encino, CA | Re: Good Move Webroot! Personally, I use Spybot/Ad-Aware to detect the presence of a Ad/Spy/Crapware infection. Upon getting back a positive test result, I know that it's time to just wipe the damn system. | |

Microsoft's software works great. It is after all just repackaged Giant software which was one of the best on the market. | |
