Computer Virus .. Tracking cookie aaahhhh help :S?spyware remove

A cookie is a plain txt file that sits on your computer in a temporary folder that stores data about a browsing session. If you log into a website it generally sets a cookie to temporarily store your information so you don鈥檛 have to log in every time you change a page.

A tracking cookie is a cookie that tracks your browsing behaviors. Marketers use this data to understand how users use their partner websites and optimize their networks for the average user that visits their networks.

Some people hate cookies, claim they鈥檙e spyware, and always delete them. Personally, I鈥檓 not exactly worried about them: unless you鈥檝e shared your personal information, the tracking cookies are only going to report browsing habits which helps generate a bunch of marketing statistic.

Really, I think the only time you need to worry about cookies is when you鈥檙e on a public computer - like at school or an Internet cafe. In this instance, you should clear the cookies after you鈥檙e done so any stored information - such as login information - will not be stored on that computer.
