Tracking CookiesFollow

To begin my trifles, I ended up with some sort of spyware or problem. I figured out most of my problems and have about 3 different anti spyware programs and I still can't get rid of these tracker cookies I have. I've done all the things I've read on every other board. I have blocked third party cookies, I have removed every cookie I've picked up in a scan. Probably the only thing I haven't done is reformat my whole computer, which is what I'm trying to avoid doing.

I know that people say cookies are harmless and I understand this, but they keep popping up and are particularly annoying. They also prevent me from running any sort of full screened program. I'm no computer genius by any matter, but these tracking cookies are really annoying and I can't seem to find a way to permanently get rid of them to make my computer run the way it used to before I got this.

Thanks in advanced.

Or how about the cookies are forcing the popups that disrupt me from the programs. I never said anything about it making my programs **** up.

What I do on mine is use a modified hosts file for cookies themselves. But it sounds as if you have more going on than tracking cookies here.

That being said, are you getting pop ups and whatnot when you browse the 'net and that kind of thing? Because that is a little different. If you like, PM me and I can give you a hand with it.
