• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here.

Hi Folks.

Trying to determine what a particular detected Browser Cookie is doing, related to, etc.

Tried search of Forum and FAQ and got hits in forum but no actual results that showed the search words, and nothing in FAQ

Shows up under 'Cookie' heading as:

Browser Cookie (131) / Firefox (PE_C_Public (default-1410841632923)) / Browser: Cookie / rule# 49804854


Also under 'Windows Explorer' heading among other detected items I get:

'Recent file global history' - listed as a Registry Key / Tracks / rule # D20DA0AD

Will allowing S&D delete this wipe out all IE history, and is it really at a Treat Level that's of concern [ TL bar graph shows ~20% ] and should be allowed to be deleted?


TIA,

sc
 
I, too, keep having a similar problem, which might actually be the same. Every time I scan, I always have Browser Cache Internet Explorer (User) (Darlene) Rule #49804B54. Note: The Letter B .
Today, the following was added (User) (Darlene). SPYBOT always directs me to the Review and Repair, which sends me to a forum, where I have no idea what they are telling me to do to remove or fix it? Where does the "Destroy" come in??? I have several other registry problems noted, but I am really mentally challenged over those , so I picked the "easier" one -I think, to solve first. Why are they not quarantined?

Thank you.

Totally lost,

Leaker

Is that listed under a category called Rule #, like in the image I linked to below? There's no need to worry about that, that's just the detection rule number.

This is the definition of browser cache:

So, basically, when Spybot lists Browser Cache Internet Explorer after a scan, it just wants to clean your browser cache for Internet Explorer. That is probably listed under the Browser category, I think? But, it can also fit under the Usage Track category, so I'll link this:
https://www.safer-networking.org/faq/usage-tracks/
Browser Cache Internet Explorer should be listed as a very low threat, and whether you fix it or not is up to you.

Which version of Spybot are you using? :)
