Looking for Spy Cookies on Your PC

Not all Web cookies are bad. But spy cookies in particular can be very irritating. You can end up on spam lists. Your personal information could go to somebody you've never heard of. Your Web surfing habits could be tracked.



Choose Start, My Computer, and navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\\ Cookies, where is your user name.

My C:\Documents and Settings\woody\Cookies folder has a lot of small text files -- my cookies.

Look for files with the word ad, ads or advertising in the name. Open the ones that look suspicious.

You can opt to install a cookie catcher that will do away with the bad cookies before they cause problems. Consider a product from Lavasoft called Ad-aware Standard Edition. It's free for noncommercial use. Just go to www.lavasoft.nu and in the Software category on the left, click Ad-aware. Then click Download. Follow the instructions to download a copy of Ad-aware Standard.

When the installer is finished, double-click the Ad-aware icon that is automatically placed on the Window desktop. Immediately click Check for Updates Now, then click Connect, and then click Scan Now.

From here, before you proceed with a scan, click the Settings button (the one that looks like a gear, at the top of the page). Ad-aware offers to let you change the settings. In general, Lavasoft recommend that you not run Ad-aware automatically when Windows starts.
