Hey guys, I downloaded Cookie Wall after seeing it recommended by posts in this forum and at spywareinfo.com. It looks to be a nice little application, but how do you update it? From the looks of AnalogX, the site I got it from, it hasn't been updated for some time. I didn't register it either since it seemed like registering would only, in the words of the author "make me eligible for special offers". If it doesn't have anything to do with the program, I don't really need it. But, back to my question, does this application not need to be updated much or has the program maker abandoned the project?

Hello, I never heard about this cookie wall program !!! what does it do ? Thanks to give more information and appreciation about this brand new program...

Cookie Wall is a great little program that runs in the background and gives you total control of cookies. When any site attempts to place a cookie on you, it asks you whether or not to accept or reject that cookie. You can go into the lists it keeps and change the status of any cookie. It shouldn't need updating I don't think because it's functions don't change. It's like the guard at the door who can open the door or keep it closed. I love it and wouldn't be without it.

Hi suzi, actually I am not getting any requests to keep or reject cookies. What happens in my case is I go to a site, check Cookie Wall to see if it listed any cookies from the site, and, if it did and I want to keep it, I select it and move it to the keep column. It has a block column too so I assume a cookie I don't want goes there and it won't load it ever again. I'm also making the assumption that you can do all your cookie cleaning from right there instead of going through the internet tools method. The little guy doesn't hog any resources either :-) I'll tell you right now, I have so many spyware prevention and cookie/history cleaning utilities that one day, mark my words here, lol, I'll get one big popup saying "Ok, which one of us do you want to kill this cookie/spyware component?". It will happen, lol, I promise. Thanks for the replies.

Well, I figured out the updating thing, lol. When I smartened up and accessed the program from the Start menu, right there it was next to the program, the updating function. Sometimes I wonder about my common sense or the lack thereof, hehe :-)

CookieWall is amazing! Since I started using it, AdAware doesn't find any tracking cookies anymore!

dw226 - you should see the CookieWall icon in the system tray at the lower right site of your screen. You use the config function to set it to auto start, monitor IE and prompt for cookies. I forgot that it had the update thing, so thanks for that info. I have the lastest version. I don't think it changes very often though.
