All of the tracking cookies persent were described by Panda as being "not in circulation". At the time of the scan, the system was still under the influence of an Windows auto installer program. I started the scan because the system would not restart. I checked a disk with the program itself and it showed no spyware. My concern is that after a search on few of the tracking cookies, such as fastclick, I realized that I had never even been to the websites connected with the tracking cookies. How did I get connected with the tracking cookies if I did not vist any of the websites connected with the tracking cookies?

they will find there way into computers!!! pop ups, emails, pretty much anyway you can think of...get a program called peer guardian from Phoenix labs. Run this and it will show you how many different things are trying to connect to your computer...its amazing really, but this program will also BLOCK all of those unwanted intruders (which arnt really ALL BAD) just , "unwanted"

Fastclick is a very common tracking cookies. They scanned for you so that you will buy that product. Other freeware can scan these out too! Tracking cookies, also known as spyware cookie, is any cookie that is placed on your computer by a third party not directly related to the web site you're currently viewing. The intention of this cookie is to track your movement as you surf between sites. They are mainly used to collect data regarding user tendencies such as Web Sites visited and behavioral activity. Advertisements usually have these cookies, or maybe adware or spyware(s) too.
