Solve : AVG Resident shield is constantly reporting tracking cookies? |
|
Answer» This is a fairly recent THING. I get these notices from AVG resident shield about tracking cookies, sometimes 9 or 10 at a time. This is a fairly recent thing. I get these notices from AVG resident shield about tracking cookies, sometimes 9 or 10 at a time.Additional info: Shortly before this began, I attempted to "tweak" my Vista. I visited "Black Viper.com". There is an extensive list of registry(?) changes given to streamline Vista. There are 3 levels suggested. I chose the middle level "tweaked". Shortly thereafter I began getting these tracking cookie notices and Firefox began crashing. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it. It still crashed. LAST night I Uninstalled Firefox again and went back to Black Viper and put all of the Vista services back to the default settings. I reinstalled Firefox. So far everything looks good. No more tracking cookie notices and Firefox hasn't crashed again! Jim I, too, use black viper's list. I would say if you decide you would like to use his list again, just use the "Safe" one. I used that one, my comp has seen a speed increase, and I havent had any problems.I have found out that I can be disconnected from the net. Run Ccleaner. Every time, the AVG Resident Sheild reports several tracking cookies. The pop up windows show the location but I can't get there! C\users\account name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\name of cookie I can go C\users\account name but there all I find is a list of folders like in explorer. If I go to roaming under start menu\acct name\roaming It's always empty and no way to go on to \Microsoft... Vista Business Why can't I follow the address sequence? JimRun SUPERAntiSpyware Free. It should get all of them.OK I am running SuperAntiSpyware now. Still. Is there a way to follow the PATH that I posted above? In xp it was easy, I am running Vista Business. JimHere are a few THINGS you might want to check out. Both free. Cookie Viewer - This Power Tool automatically scans your computer, looking for "cookies". It can then display the data STORED in each one and can delete them. Cookie Cruncher - Protects your hard drive from unwanted cookies.Thanks, I will check those out. I ran the SuperAntiSpyware and it found the tracking cookies. When I clicked on the button to put them away, I got the same popup from AVG Resident Shield. Several tracking cookies again. I am running the SAS again now. I got one step closer to following the path I posted above. "View hidden folders" helped. JimSorry, forgot to answer that part.
