What do you use to get rid of cookies and trackers?
« on: February 15, 2009, 08:34:33 am »
I am not happy with the job Norton 360 is doing to clean up my computer. What do you guys use to clean up your computer from cookies, and ad trackers?

Thanks!

For cookies, I use milk. For trackers, I use booby-traps.  :D

AVG Free and Spybot SD.

Yeah, I'm cheap... but they came recommended by a CS professor last semester. *shrugs* I could think of worse endorsements.

I find CCCleaner to be much faster as it is just cleaning your browser.

I use that as well.

I also have it delete all the temp files and trash. I have it set to overwrite everything it deletes 7 times too.

A little late here but I use SPYWARE DOCTOR.  Decent support and it does tackle the bad boys.
