Hey all,

I run Ad-Aware SE pro everyday and it picks up the same threats (Tracking cookies...it cleans them up one day and the next they are back.

Are these bad threats? why do i keep getting them back on my system?
How can i get rid of them for good?

I have ad-aware se pro to and I have the same problem everyday they keep coming back well at least most of the time. If you are visiting websites that are doing this and it worries you then I would stop going to those websites and see if it clears up.

Tracking cookies are not always bad, for example, google gives you one. You don't have to remove them, as most do not pose any threat.

I know it says that for me to and I use Firefox to. I have no idea what to do about it but the best thing to do is just to keep deleting it everyday.

Thats a sweet theme. Is it Vista and where did you get that BG?
 
Cookies shouldn't really be a problem, the only problem with the cookies is that they can be detected as something that can be a threat and as such they should be deleted, deleting cookies and files every now and again is also a good thing. Run a scan everyday to get rid of them, they aren't a major threat, what is detected by your anti-virus system is something to worry about, not really what the ad-ware or whatever picks up.
