Anyone knows how I get rid of tracking cookie?

Have one locaeted c:\documents and settings\eier\cookies\eier@cgi-bin[1].txt

That seems to be a hard one to get rid of, this one makes a lot of other cookies... (and now a folder called or located c:\windows\mslagent\)

Anyone knows what this cookie does? I really appreciate all help I can get

Seems to be OK now... Thnx,
but can you tell me what DSO Exploit is, when I´m running spyboot search and destroy it always find something called DXO Exploit and when I remove it, and restart and run SD again it´s back again...
What is DXO Exploit?

Its is a bug in the new spybot ,nothing to worry about .You can set spybot to ignore it so that it doesn't report it all the time .
Run spybot in advanced mode ,go to settings /ignore products/security ,and check off dso exploit.

Deleted only one file (index) in the path.

caperjack 875 I hate 20 Questions Team Colleague · Answer 9 · 2004-07-12T23:58:57+00:00

Make sure all browser windows are close and fix these .
O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Hurtigsøk.lnk = C:\Programfiler\Microsoft Office\Office\FINDFAST.EXE
O4 - Global Startup: Office Oppstart.lnk = C:\Programfiler\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA.EXE

Also if it were my computer i would uninstall the Incredimail program pronto.

If you know what site you are geting the cookie from you can block it in your security settings .

And if you haven't all ready install these programs .

After you get it all fixed and things are working good ,Download and install these two programs to help stop Spyware .

Spywareblaster

SpywareGuard

IE-SPYAD

Keep Up-to-Date!
The most important key to maintaining a secure computer is keeping your protection up-to-date.

also check how i got infected in the first place .

Right click on Internet Explorer then left click on properties. Go to Privacy & under settings click on advanced. Select over-ride automatic cookie handling & select prompt for both. You then get to select what cookies you want & what cookies you do not want.

JaY_2 0 Light Poster · Answer 13 · 2004-07-13T22:33:55+00:00

This is working now.. Thnx a lot to you both... owe you guys big time!

(something that is still bugging my mind, when I turn off the settings the cookie returns.. It comes right back when I turn on or go searching IE) So I guess I can´t put the settings back. Have you heard about this tracking cookie before? Is it a big Issue?

from a very grateful JaY_2

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you....
