The moment I startup using XP & log on to Windows live, Yahoo IM, & open a couple pages of IE8 /google, it displays at least 15 potentially evil cookies with life ranging from a few months to years.
Are they necessary/essential or can they be blocked some way, coz Cookienator is only on demand or boot time?
Could making G Chrome as default in place of IE help?
Thanks.
Cookies are not evil but necessary to keep Log in information.

Will you really worry about cookies?
CCleaner could do the job from time to time…

but be careful some cookies are still holds your username and password which easy to steal. if you check always log-in it store to cookies and it become a tracking cookie 
passwords stealer use your cookies to steal your account. and it is possible now in win7 because c:/document and setting is not accessible so tracking cookies intact and easy to steal your username and password ;D ;D ;D
So you mean to say always log in shouldnt be checked & user name/password typed each time any where on the web?
Thanks.
I think bong2x is paranoid. 
sort of but that only 55% possibility that your cookies did not stored your username and password. look try to read one of the cookies sometimes
edit if you have a code translator
kenny-yo
if paranoid refer to the group of people who always watch. arm with the question “Why they do this” “for what”
and dig in to the deepest motive to get an answer ;D ;D ;D will i don’t know if im the one them ;D ;D ;D
I think bong2x has had to many bong’s, Im buggered if i can understand him ;D
I think so as well.
Personally i have my browser set so that it cleans them out when the browser closes…
Me to but windows does a pretty crap job of deleting them, ccleaner get’s rid of the stubborn one’s for me.
What’s windows got to do with it ?
I use ccleaner to clean all of this 
also in firefox I regularly clean it.
Not sure what browser you use but im using windows internet explorer 9, thats what windows has got to do with it.
