hitbox cookie etc.
Hello again guys and thanks in advance (again!)
I have the hitbox cookie, and some other nasties in my system that i cant get rid of.
Ive run spybot of course, and xsoftspy (which detected 24 different things including "viewer"??).
The hitbox cookie keeps coming back of course.
I have no idea how to remove it and al the other junk!
Ran trend micro and pandascan, both picked spyware up but didn't disinfect it.
Also saw a dialer mentoned in one scan.
HELP!!
As many popular web pages use tracking cookies (like the Hitbox cookie) it is quite normal for them to return.
But no need to worry - they are not a too serious thread.

What were the other nasties you mentioned?
should read "threat", of coursethey are not a too serious thread.
Firehousezone cookie always seems to be there.
Ive downloaded and installed MCAfee and it picked up some stuff and removed it.
Cant remember what i used that found a dialler and some other hacking tool.
So at this stage untill i run some more scans its hitbox and firehousezone.
OK, hitbox gone, but firehousezone cookie stil lthere every time i log on.
