[CLOSED] Spyware protection/detection.

Postby skydiver » Fri, 22 Jun 2012, 17:52

Hi,
Have done an on-demand scan which found and deleted 8 spyware programmes. I immediately did another scan which found and deleted 2 spyware programmes.
Q. Why did the scan not pick up the second two ?
Q Why is Panda letting them in in the first place ?
Thanks.

They are only cookies, they are not notified with a popup because just by browsing the internet you would get hundreds of them
Anyway, Microsoft changed some months ago the way IE stores the cookies, so they are only detected with an on-demand scan now.
For more information about what a cookie is follow this link:
