Why have I protected cookies and how do I get rid of them? I do not want any cookes protected. I have the latest spybot but am new again as I have not had spybot for a few months. Please remind me. Thanks
PS I have protected domains too?

Can you please define "protected cookies" and "protected domains"?

Through the immunization process Spybot prevents the storing of certain cookies on your system and also places certain sites (domains) in Internet Explorer's restricted zone.

Are you indicating that you do not what Spybot to do that?

Can you please define "protected cookies" and "protected domains"?I have ignore cookies. It says if they are checked they will be excluded from removal. But even though they are not checked they are not being removed

But I do not want cookies on my pc and do not want any cookies ignored. Can i configure Spybot to scan for and delete all cookies.

Thanks for your reply

If you want to delete all cookies and are using Internet Explorer 7, rather than use Spybot to do that (which is more time consuming):
Go into the Internet Explorer 7 "Tools" menu.
Select "Delete Browsing History...".
When the "Delete Browsing History" dialog appears, select "Delete cookies…".
Answer the "Delete cookies" confirmation dialog with "Yes".
Then on the "Delete Browsing History" dialog click the "Close" button.

Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode (answer yes to the warning message if necessary) > Settings > File Sets. Check the following item (near the bottom):
Usage Tracking
When you do a "Check for problems" a green "Cookie" item should be listed. Check the item and do a "Fix selected problems".

That indicates that by immunizing you are protected against 186 different tracking cookies being stored on your system.
