Tracking Cookie

[royukbadges]

Has anyone encountered the Tracking Cookie "tradedoubler" on their computers. Mine had 24 hits before I spotted it.

It's pretty common, and seems to be fairly harmless according to most "spy hunters". Tradedoubler is used by a very high percentage of Websites. A2 squared [free] http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/ removes this and other spyware easily, along with Trojans, Worms and Diallers.

It's harmless & is probably back by now anyway.

When i delete my cookies i don't always bother to get rid of that 1 as it's there every time & causes no problems.

We use Hobnobs instead of cookies

I had Ad-Aware and later Spybot. I tried A2 when it was in the Beta format, and have stayed with it ever since. It has 497,745 malware signatures including trojans, Worms, and Diallers. I found it removes stuff Spybot and Ad-Aware left behind. It has won practically every major IT award recently. I used to recommend Spybot. Now I recommend A2.
