| I just installed SpywareBlaster, version 3.2. I have it set to block
tracking cookies. Yet when I run a scan with Ad-Aware SE, it still finds a
few tracking cookies. Is this to be expected?
My PC is running XP Home SP2, and my web browser is IE 6 SP2.

You will still get the odd one......don't worry about it. They are just
tracking cookies. I often just go in and manually delete them.

I wasn't really worried, just curious if it was normal for Ad-Aware to
find tracking cookies that SpywareBlaster is supposed to block. >> Stay informed about: Spyware blaster/Ad-Aware SE results |

It appears to be bundled with, at least some, models of HP computers. I
had to do a system restore last night on a friend's computer and Wild
Tangent was re-installed automatically.
