left4dead Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 CCleaner 2.30.1130 Windows 7 x64 Norton nternet Security 2010 Everytime I run a Norton AV scan *after* using CCleaner, it (Norton) always finds anywhere between 3-9 "tracking cookies" that were left behind and NOT removed by CCleaner (see image). Is there a reason why CCleaner is not removing ALL cookies on my system? By it's DEFAULT settings, are there folders that it does not clean that may contain browser cookies? Can someone please tell me how to correct this (adjusting settings maybe)? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

left4dead Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 Possible flash cookie? Does CCleaner not clean flash cookies? If not, how can you add this to CCleaner. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ident Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 shame norton does not show the location. I cleaned a computer yesterday with over 200 infections, Norton failed to spot one. Just a thought. No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Looks like Norton is using scareware tactics. It is finding problems it refuse to fix and says you have to fix them. Does it also have a screen that offers (for a fee) an up-grade to a version that is enabled to fix ! ! ! Flash Cookies seem to appear in various new places. So far I have the lot covered by adding to WinApp2.ini FileKey1=%APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\|*.*|RECURSE FileKey4=%APPDATA%\Adobe\Flash Player\|*.*|RECURSE That gets rid of all Flash settings as well - but I never wanted Flash in the first place. Another possibility might be to visit Adobe - I think they have a place to detect and remove flash cookies. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_B Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Oh Hazel, too late ! ! ! It does not find any of my cookies, because 5 minutes before I saw your post I ran CC and they all got zapped. Yes, that is the site I vaguely remembered. I am sure your link will be helpful to many who come on this topic. Regards Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted April 20, 2010 Moderators Share Posted April 20, 2010 me thinks norton is either reading the cookies.dat file (which is I believe cleaned when restart happens after running ccleaner) or finding cookies in a non-normal place try to track down the location of the file jazzy@go.com ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
