As a tech, I've seen just about everything bad, and you have not got a severe problem.........yet. Diligent surfing and common sense, along with a good anti-virus and anti-spyware suite will pull your fat out of the fire most of the time. I worked on a laptop that had so many pieces of spyware on it that Xoftspy could not remove all of them at once. I had to stop the scan every 500 pieces and delete them and restart the scan until all 12,000+ pieces were gone. He said he never went to a porn site.........I hope his wife believed him............I didn't.

Tracking cookies are pretty much nothing and Trojans really aren't as harmful to your computer as people make you think.

It's never a good thing that you have viruses, but this isn't something to freak out over.

I've had about 4x that much before with no problems or loss of data etc.

Repair/cure/heal them and the ones you cant quarantine

tracking cookies must be deleted as thats the only option

Is it good or bad.... hmm.... well.....


BAD

Exactly which pr0n sites are you browsing to get that much negative stuff on your comp?

In fairness I have seen worse I just hope that you can get rid of it all with the software you are using.
