Should I feel proud?

[hbdragon88]

I recently installed Tracks Eraser on my dad's computer to clear out the cache and clear cookies and stuff. When I ran it the first time, I got these results:

Tons and tons of ad cookies that were erased.

Should I feel proud of myself? That there were so many cookies on my dad's compuer? It frightened me because I didn't know that there were so many accumlated.

Proud or scared?

 

[ainwood]

Why don't you download adaware, and see what that turns up?

 

[Archer 007]

Or Spybot S&D

 

[Aphex_Twin]

When I first got AdAware it erased something as 1000 elements (files, registry entries)

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Darn, my best record fr AdAware was only 140 or so...

Or both Thats what I did, they clean up after each other

You know, I love SpyBot, and it's got some nice tools that I use, but i have never ever not once had Spybot clean up after adaware. Adaware usually gets it all, and cleans up after Spybot. Not that spybot isn't useful, cuz it's bad page blocker and immunization utils are great. . .but Adaware seems to clean more than SP.

Must be the sites I go to.

 

[hbdragon88]

I ran Spybot and found some typical stuff that always is identified as problems (DSO Exploit, Alexa What's Related link) and also "eZula HotText" and "XXXdial Code Storage Database". And..."Windows Media Player Client ID"

But hey look, my dad's computer had all the counter sextracker cookies (1-8, 10-15).

Are there other sites?

 

[Turner]

Shh!

 

[Goober]

It feels nice to clean out your computer, doesn't it? I remember my first time with Ad Aware - WOW!!! lots of stuff. Too many month of Kazaa, then Imesh caught up with me . . .
