Will tracking cookies hurt me? Cause me to get a lot of targeted email
advertising? "Hank Arnold" wrote in message ... Yeah, but what did it find? A lot of what AdAware finds are tracking cookies. Hardly malware.

http://www.winpatrol.com/media.html "Paul H" wrote in message ... I use Avast and AdAware on my XP netbook, my wife's Vista laptop and my W7 notebook. PC Mag and PCworld give Avast top ratings. No mention of AdAware, although last year PC Mag said both were top picks. Both mags give Microsoft Security Essentials mediocre ratings. Consumer Reports gives Microsoft Security Essentials thumbs up, but what do they know compared to PC Mag or PCworld. I would like to have real-time mal-ware protection - not have to run AdAware frequently (a very slow process), and do the update 1st. Is there a better free alternative? TIA, Paul
