Hello the Kid,
there is so many spywares now circulating in the web than even a program as Ad-Aware don't success to follow the spreads !!!
you can erase them, they come back right away !!!
That's why you needs a program as "Cookies Muncher" for exemple to erase them as soon as they arrive....
Cookie Muncher

Cookiem.zip

Update 10/07/01 Version 3.7
Ability to select your own sound effects to replace
the Munch and Burp. Munch is evertime a cookie is removed
and a Burp is every 5 cookies.

Update 29/03/01 Version 3.6
CM now uses a lower priority thread to enable processor hungry
application more processor time. CM should now work smoothly
even on very low spec machines.

28/03/01 - attempts to rectify Cache clearing errors with
some versions of IE.

Whats New in version 3.5

CM now only animates when munching a cookie.
CM no longer requires IE window captions and will work
with ALL browsers that use the IE engine. Users that modified
IE and changed the IE windows caption often stopped CM from
running with IE. An option in CM 2.3 gave users the option
to add customized windows titles. This is no longer needed.

Option to munch Opera Cookies added.

Option to munch ICQ cookies added.
ICQ cookies are stored under the Program Files\ICQ\Atebrowser\####### folder
where ####### = your ICQ number. ICQ Cookies are stored in a
file called "cookies.dat"

Netscape Cookies are usually stored under the Netscape folder and are
in a file called Cookies.txt. Later versions of Netscape store cookies
in a folder under the windows directory.

To enable the ICQ and Netscape browser option you must set the
path to their cookies.

Internet Explorer (all browsers that use the IE engine) store
cookies in a folder under the windows directory - usually
C:\Windows\Cookies

CM defaults the IE path to this location.


PLEASE READ THIS..... FAQ

I get many questions asking about the cookies in the
temporary internet files folder. These are NOT cookies.
They are pointers to the cookies in the cookies folder.
Similer to shortcuts. Cookies are deleted by cookie muncher.
They do nothing once the cookie has been deleted and will
be removed by normal cache cleanup operations, or can be deleted
by you using windows explorer. (See Below)

******** 3 additional Menu Options added ***********
1. Clear IE Cache Cookie Shortcuts
Clicking this menu item will now delete all cookie shortcuts from
the IE Temporary Internet Files Cache (see above)

2. Clear IE History
Clicking this will erase the IE History of visited sites.

3. Clear IE Cache
Clicking this will erase ALL of the IE cache.

If CM dosen't run at startup it is most likely that
you have changed the program location since its first run.
To fix this...
1. Run CM
2. Un-check "Load at Startup"
3. Exit CM.
4. Run CM and check the "Load at Startup" option.
5. If this still fails add a shortcut to CM in your
Start Menu\Start up folder.


With sounds enabled you get a crunch when a cookie
lands on your hard disk, and a burp after every 5th
cookie.

Cookie Muncher allows cookies to be saved to your disk
by the browser, this stops browser error messages if you
simply disable cookies. Cookie Muncher then deletes the
cookie within half a second of its arrival.

Browse in peace knowing that your page visits are known
only by you.

SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed.

How? By setting a "kill bit" for the CLSIDs of spyware ActiveX controls, it prevents the installation of any of them from a webpage. You can run Internet Explorer with Active-X enabled, but you will never even get a "Yes/No" box popped up, asking you to install a spyware Active-X control (Internet Explorer will never download or run it!). All other Active-X controls or plug-ins will work fine.

The SpywareBlaster database contains information on these known spyware Active-X controls. Make sure you run the Check For Updates feature frequently to get the latest database! (And make sure you check the new items to protect your system against them!)

As a side benefit, setting this "kill bit" will also prevent the spyware Active-X from running, in many cases,if it is already installed on your system.*

***Besides,running IE6,I can allow/disallow any cookies I want to.And,I can delete all the files you mentioned from my CrazyBrowser toolbar.
