Google Karen's Cookie Viewer. You have to download a Basic program and then the Viewer, which works REALLY well.

This may well be a dumb question but maybe you can help me. I am a computer novice so please bear with me. I am currently running Norton on my computer. Can I also run AVG or will the two conflict with each other? I have heard that having more than one anti-virus is a good idea because one may have virus definitions the other has missed. Is this true? If I did run more than one will this slow my computer down?

The latest version of SpyBot S&D is 1.3, and it catches a sh!tload more bugaboos than 1.2. I know 'cuz I just upgraded yesterday and I was simply AMAZED at how many new agents and highjacks there are. A must have!

I couldn't get in either.
Their servers are probably getting pounded right now.

I end up touching someone's PC at least once a quarter, and it's amazing how much spyware crapola is on most of them. Most people really don't have a clue how bad it is.The first time my wife ran Ad-aware on the office computer, it had 160+ assorted problems... and was running like it was dipped in molasses.

I'm no expert either, but I installed the free edition of AVG this morning and it didn't have any conflicts with Norton at all.
It didn't find anything that Norton didn't which was also good. :)

I ran the Spybot S&D today for the first time... took a restart to eliminate everything - and I also learned that some things that won't delete at all under my name, have to be deleted from my husband's "account"... (XP).
I'm still having a problem deleting one single zero byte folder. Downloaded MoveOnBoot - that didn't do it either. I think it was related to some "BTIEIN" problem that SpyBot corrected today finally but to be honest I can't remember anymore because I renamed the problem folder "delete" after AdAware labeled it spyware a couple months back. I was able to rename the main folder and I can move it between my desktop and my docs but I can't open it or delete it. "Access denied."
I've googled it to death and am thinking I'm stuck with the stupid thing.

LOL! I remember the first time I ran a virus checker on my brother's computer. He had over SIX HUNDRED (no I am not kidding.. they kept reinstalling themselves and lots of altered names by one letter, etc) of them, but the problem he was complaining about was how incredibly slow it was running.

I know what you mean... wife's office PC had degraded so slowly that she hadn't really noticed it crawling, but since I use it only once in a blue moon, I suspected malware and got her to try Ad-aware.
The main problem was teenagers slipping into the office after hours and visiting all those rude sites on the web. Dern young'uns!

Dern young'uns! Okay you really have me laughing now.
That was his 'story" - his friend using his PC to look at porn sites. Which I know to be at least partially true. His friends use it ALOT.

That was his 'story" - his friend using his PC to look at porn sites.Yeah, "The Other Guy Did It!" was popular when I was a teenager, too.
My wife's "midnite logger" was dumb enough to bookmark his favorite sites, which really isn't too cool a thing to do on an office computer that the public might get a glimpse of. Her boss finally read all the kids out there the riot act, and the activity stopped- or more likely, went back home to the family computers...
