Hi malware fighters,

There is a new cookie that will not go away, evercookie, re: http://samy.pl/evercookie/
re: http://virtualreview.org/tech/zoom/1664919/introducing-the-invulnerable-evercookie, NoScript will block them, Click@Clean will also get rid of them after closing down GoogleChrome. Test here: http://samy.pl/evercookie

Hi malware fighters,

Some of the answers for the Mozilla browser can be found here: http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=5093&start=0
Then the evercookie is not that “everlasting”. But who will bastle such a creation in the first place, he definitely is not on the side of the browser user protection and would like to sell his creation to the highest bidder, I guess,

Hi folks,

Tested to recover the evercookie after cleansing my GoogleChrome with Click&Clean and these were the results:

pngData mechanism: null
etagData mechanism: undefined
userData mechanism: undefined
cookieData mechanism: null
localData mechanism: null
globalData mechanism: undefined
sessionData mechanism: null
historyData mechanism: undefined
lsoData mechanism: undefined
