Hello group,

I don't know too much about Spybot, but here goes: I have the latest version, and I'm using Firefox. Spybot S&D used to find cookies on my system such as Hitbox and Doubleclick, but no longer does. Firefox is set to accept all cookies. Numerous scans turn up no problems, which I guess is fine, but how come it's finding no cookies, which I know are there?

Thanx,
Chet

Actually, you may have no instructed Spybot-SD to scan for cookies. To do this:
-Run Spybot in Advanced Mode (Mode>Advanced Mode) and click 'Ok' to the prompt.
-Click on the Settings tab> File Sets and click on User Trackage.

Now in future scans, Spybot-SD will detect cookies.
