Hi there. Anyone know where I can download a program to delete all the cookies in my computer? I have some cookies going back several years.. just piling up. Also I visited a Greman website and they apparently sent me a cookie that installed a program file in my Windows directory, then it came up in the startup menu.. called Cyber Girl. I fingally did a REGEDIT and deleted that thing, but took an act of congress.. *S*

Download the Internet Explorer 6 beta. It works great and has a tab to delete cookies.

Thanks jimi_1 !! I went to www.downoads.com and selected a VERY highly regarded product (shareware 30 days $15.00) that works, and is working excellent! It allows me to chose which cookies I want to accept, clean out old cookies, list cookies I ALWAYS want to accept (things like eBay, etc.) and seems to work quite well. Thought I'd mention that in case someone else had a similar situation. Again THANKS!!!
