spyware help

hi folks

paranoia is eating away at me. i have reset my spyware software to detect everything.

it keeps finding "tracking cookies".

are these dangerous? do i need to block them?

cheers

You will never get rid for long thats the problem. Each time you clean then visit another website, the cycle starts again.

Just make sure you clean regularly. Like your teeth
