Hey, everytime I run ad-aware I get like 5 spyware files, all of them cookies in my Documents and Setting folder... Anyone know what this could be from, or are they just everyday things from visiting the Internet.

They are harmless to be honest. They just gather information about certain web browsing habits.

Lol, no. and only the site that put the cookie on your PC is able to view it. So to all of those that are paranoid about it, chill. Like Allisurd said, they're harmless.

most cookies are harmless.. actually if im right, this site uses cookies to log in, thats why if you dont log out. and go onto other sites and return here ,ur still logged in.. but there is some cookies where they can be maliicious. but they are alot rarer compared to the safe ones
