hello,

I have some problems whit tracking cookies.
I don't know if they will direct my computer any damage and i do not see my computer slowing but every time i use spybot S&D they are thear again even when i remove them they are back in no time.
First it was only a Right Media tracking cookie but now thear are:

DoubleClick
FastClick
Mediaplex
and the Right Media.

these are all tracking cookies.
How can i destroy them forever?

Thank you very much, Erwin

Hi

It's normal that mentioned cookies appear when you browse web sites :) To get rid of most cookies you may use mvps hosts file.

Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them. In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages. We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages. However, it can slow down certain computers. This is why using a hosts file is optional!!
Download it here (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm). Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial51.html)
If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen) Click run In the dialog box, type services.msc hit enter, then locate dns client Highlight it, then double-click it. On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual. Click ok
