I have scanned my computer several times with spybot, and it has found things that every other program I have used does not, which is a good thing, but each time i scan i come up with the same 5 threats and they are red, and im new to this software so i just clicked on fix the selected problems, and then the next time i would come back and scan and the same threats have came up, so i need to know how to actually get rid of them, like i said i am new to this but any help would be greatly appreciated...ty

Could you please produce a short log,so what Spybot is finding can be seen.


Open SpyBot.
Check for problems.
When finished, right click and choose copy results (not the full report) to clipboard and post that into topic

Tracking Cookies are cookies stored on your computer by a 3rd party not directly related to the web site you're currently viewing. The intention of this cookie is to track your movement as you surf between sites.

If you are running Internet Explorer the storing of these particular Tracking Cookies can be prevented by enabling Spybot's Browser Helper Object (BHO). To do this go into Spybot-S&D > Immunize. Look in the last section labeled "Permanently running bad download blocker for Internet Explorer". Check the following:"Enable permanent blocking of bad addresses in Internet Explorer"

There is another way to prevent the downloading of Tracking Cookies in Internet Explorer (even those not blocked by Spybot's resident BHO) as well as the storing of Tracking Cookies in other WEB browsers. See:
Why do other anti-spyware applications detect so many more tracking cookies?

I personally have never run into a situation were blocking the storing of 3rd party cookies caused any problems. However, there are certain Web sites that require you allow 3rd party cookies to be stored. But in most cases they will issue a message indicating that for the site to function properly you must allow the storing of the 3rd party cookies. If that situation ever arises you can reverse the actions you took until you are done accessing that site.
