What os? If its windows 7 go to

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects

Delete that folder and you are good to go.

I have found that if you go to GOOGLE, and type in “flash cookies-anyone know how to delete from hard drive” , you will get links to the answer.

Otherwise you will get answers like this: “throw the hard drive into a wood chipper.”

First, you must begin with capitalizing the first word of a sentence...

From your browser and depending on which browser you use there is a different process. If the are adobe it shouldn’t be hard.

I have a Norton symantec Antivirus

when my computer slows down I run a complete scan and the system kicks out such things....

ps I know bupkus about computers...my kids load on what they think is the best system and upgrade for me accordingly....I just run a scan once in a while to clean the sneakly little things like you mentioned...

The Flash cookies allow the collection of information about your browsing. They are stored in a different location from the regular cookies, which most people know how to delete. Apparently they are hard to find. I have a Macbook so I am just going to find out from Apple what to do about it.

Windows:
* Better Privacy extension for Firefox -
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6623

* Ccleaner - http://www.ccleaner.com/

Use CCleaner. Make certain to close any browsers first, then use CCleaner.
