Tracking Cookies
Hi Everybody. I decided to post this just in case any of you were interested. I have found that trawling through Blogland and visiting some shopping sites that I am picking up a load of tracking cookies. Now I know that these are not a virus and are harmless but I do not like the thought of companies tracking my surfing and shopping. I (sometime ago) downloaded an Anti Spyware programme which I run daily and it is amazing the number of tracking cookies that it weeds out. On a normal day it could be 18 and somedays as many as 56. I do of course use an anti virus programme but this is completely different. It is called SuperAnti Spyware and it is the free edition. I downloaded it from www.filehippo.com which is a very trustworthy site which I have used for years. It might be worthwhile for you to download it and see what you think. It downloads in a few minutes and after all if you don't like it you can always uninstall it. I will be interested to hear what you think. Marie-Louise

My Norton package does the same thing Marie Louise. I am always astonished at how many 'spies' there are out in cyber land.
It's good to know they can be identified and dealt with.
