Hey my question is i reinstalled my whole windows and i started using the internet normally like before but now i get cookies what antivirus can stop they no matter if the program is not free.....

PC eye

"cookies" are merely text files created when you visit a web site. Those are controlled by the IE privacy settings not any antivirus program. Most choose the override cookie handling option and simply set the IE setting to clear history when closing the browser. This allows means retyping any online user names and passwords every time you log onto a site or online email account.

The typical adware/spyware remover always finds "data miners" or better know as tracking "cookies" or text files advertisers use to track your browsing habits. If you go to shopping sites as well as online vendors like newegg, TigerDirect, and others Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, Spyware Terminator, and any number of others will come across the offline content you can clean out easily.

With Spybot S&D continuing to see the same thing you may want to run another remover to see what that finds. It may be simply misidentifying an htlm file included with a program you installed as a spyware. The links here are a few freeware programs that can usually spot anything not so good.

Spyware Terminator has an active protection process similar to a mild firewalll that prompts when anything tries to make any changes in the software environment and finds the data miners Ad-Aware missses while that's still a high rated program itself. http://www.spywareterminator.com/

For the free version of Ad-Aware 2007, http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

Do you have antivirus, antirootkit, antimalware protection? Grisoft has an arsenal for the home user with the AVG programs found at http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng...i-spyware-free

All of the above run on Vista as well as XP.

Umm for antivirus i use Nod32 i hope is good ....it's not heavy for the computer too....is it good?

Nod32 is very good, but an antivirus isn't the whole picture. Antivirus programs aren't designed to combat adware or spyware. For that you need an antispyware program. PC Eye has already mentioned some great ones, but here are a few more:

Spybot-Search & Destroy
A tutorial on using Spybot to remove spyware from your computer may be found here.

SpywareBlaster
A tutorial on using SpywareBlaster to prevent malware from ever installing on your computer may be found here.

SpywareGuard
A tutorial on using SpywareGuard for real-time protection against spyware and hijackers may be found here.

With regards to cookies, it's important to recognise that they're not all bad - some serve a perfectly legitimate function, while some are designed to track your browsing behaviour. If you want to delete all the cookies from your system (this is safe) with Internet Explorer 7, click on Tools -> Delete Browsing History -> Delete cookies. That procedure is slightly different for other browsers.

Alternatively, any good antispyware program will remove the 'bad' cookies for you.

SpyBot S&D gets a better review far better then Spyware Blaster. One I justed out for removing trojans and other things is called BOClean by Comodo found at http://www.nsclean.com/boclean.html I'll be looking this over in both XP and Vista here.

Comodo's free firewall gets a good review along with the Jetico Personal Firewall for some additional protection. Besides the option to clear the history and offline content there are some good cleaners that will do all that like Evidence Nuker found at http://www.evidencenuker.com/

The latest comparison for that type of retail products is seen in the comparison chart at http://privacy-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
