I recently had an infection which I cleared up and one of the tools I used was SAS which detected a lot of cookies: Adobe Flash Tracking Cookies. How can I make ccleaner detect these? Adobe Flash does not show up in
applications.
Thank you.

Stop worrying about cookies as infections, they aint. It's under multimedia .

If you use a Gecko browser, SeaMonkey or Firefox, then the BetterPrivacy extension will control and delete Flash cookies. In K-Meleon the ClearFlash extension does much the same. The old Gecko browser Flock has the BetterPrivacy extension too. Read here about Flash cookies and here and here also.
What OS are you using
as stated above Flash cookies are cleaned via applications>multimedia>adobe flash player
so long as they are not on your cookies to save setting ccleaner (latest version) should clean them fine
Ok, thanks for the info
I have Win XP SP3

It found three occurances-'value not set'.
Also note, I have two computers and flash doesn't show up on either one in ccleaner/
I don't think it shows up in CCleaner unless you also have the Adobe "Internet Explorer" plugin installed, which is different to the "Firefox/Safari/Opera" version.

I'm an Opera user as well, but I installed both versions.
EDIT: Just found this, which may be an alternative to installing the IE plug in.

DennisD,
Thanks, that probably is it. After cleaning up from my infection, it was recommended to get the latest flash, which I did through Opera. The other user on these computers uses IE, but it hasn't asked for the plugin yet so it has not been installed.
I was just alarmed at all the tracking flash cookies SAS found and want an easy way to keep them off even if they are probably benign.
Thanks.
