Spybot and Hitman pro

[acenyc]

When I run Spybot it doesn't detect any cookies, but when I run Hitman pro right after spybot, it detects over 30 cookies. What's up with Spybot?

Hello acenyc,

Some anti-spyware applications have started to detect nearly every third-party cookie they find as a tracking cookie. In many cases, that is more or less correct, since many contain a GUID (Generic Unique Identifier).
But instead of bloating our detection database with thousands of cookies out there, we prefer recommending to change your browser settings a bit to block out all these third party cookies before they even come into your system:

Hope that helps.
