Sypware Doctor popup box kept showing up saying 4 tracking cookies found and deleted. Just to make sure it wasn't from any other site I cleared everything. The DescentBB was the first site I came back to and the whole started over again. Now today nothing shows up. No matter what I do nothing is found on active scan, not even manual scan shows any thing. I’ve used Spyware Doctor years and that was a first I seen that happen here. I just thought it was out of the ordinary.

There are other programs (such as IM clients) that will set cookies now.

Set all of your browsers to prompt you for cookies, then only allow the ones you want.
