I am new here and have a question and not sure where to post it. I found this because I was doing a serch for "AppData/Roming/Microsoft/Windows can't get rid of this tracking cookie what do I do?" I am in a dilemma and don't know what to do. I am not very computer savy. I need to say that up front, now here is my story. I have a new Dell computer only a few months old. I have McAfee and Super Anti- Spyware installed. My computer was makeing a clicking noise so I called customer support for Dell. The tec got on my computer via online and did some checks then said I had spyware and wanted to charge me $199.99 then said he would give me a deal for half. I am on a tight budget and paying off the computer so just can't afford it. So called Mcafee which said no spyware. However, when I run the Super Anti-Spyware it keeps showing the above listed tracking cookies. It prompts me to reboot to get rid of it but they won't go away. So I don't know if I have spyware or not but am afraid to do nothing. Somebody please advise because I don't know what to do! Thanks in advance for any help!!

sorry friend
Jump to PostAnd McAfee and SuperAV both ate not that brilliant anyway. I recommend not to run 2 AVs in the same machine. You have to run a disk check

Jump to PostJust to echo with most other posters here. Cookies are pretty harmless, they just stored your web browser information. Mostly use to track the web pages you visited. So perfectly harmless. I won't be surprise if your anti virus software detected them everyday, unless you clear your browser data.
