Cookies

[Andrew Hicks]

Ad-Aware will delete selected cookies like those from Doubleclick and
other web advertising firms, but it also eliminates background processes
that redirect your browser or report on your surfing habits.  Many
people add these without knowing it when they use the default
installations of popular free software (e.g. filesharing or weather
programs).

So the short answer is that Ad-Aware complements a cookie washer and a
virus scanner.  I use all three.

Andrew,

I have a cookie washer installed on my computer.  Do you know if
adware does more than that?  I looked on their site, but could not
tell.

Thanks,

Mary Delle
