The CookieSweeper

Hi,

does anybody know something more about this website?

http://www.cookiesweeper.com/

...it seems very interesting but...better safe than sorry!

 

Hiya

Normally, if you want to delete your cookies, just go to Find Files and type in cookies. This will give you a list of all your cookies, and delete the ones you don't want. Many keep stuff such as login password, etc.
If you get AddAware www.lavasoftusa.org and run it in Deep Registry Scan, this will remove any spyware cookies. Also, don't remove any references to Web3000 or new.net. You can always ask online about those.
Plus, you need to get rid of Dat files. This is a great product:

but get version 1.16.

Also, have a look here to see how vunerable you are:

Wow!!!...how much stuff...! my best thanks to eddie5659...but still very curious about that website...

 

Gianni,

Yes I have been using it to clean up Netscape cookies.
Works great too. You need to close down Netscape after you clean up the cookies or the ones you deleted may come back.

 

I tried it...

Tnx hewee...your answer reassured me so I entered The CookieSweeper...no danger at all and some very interesting and almost unknown (to me...) infos about cookies...cool site!

 

Your welcome

 

Despite the horror stories and urban myths surrounding cookies, they're just little text files. They don't install anything, they don't run anything, and they're of value only to the site that sent them.

Nevertheless, if one is truly out to keep cookies off a machine, all major browsers provide the option to reject them all, or to allow them on a case by case basis.

Some sites won't allow access without enabling cookies. Others such as this BB use them to eliminate the need to enter the User ID and password every time.
