What OS are you using....Win9x,Me......XP? What site is dropping the cookie on you? Have you tried using Spybot Search & Destroy to look for spyware?

Download Spybot from here:

I can give you a batch file that will delete the index.dat file if needed.

I tried a select all delete and it worked for now. I hope they don't come back for some reason that didn't work last time but maybe this it for now. Thanks for all your help to those that gave me input. I am always learning something that my computer picks up that I didn't know about last time.

 

Thank you for the spyware. I have Windows XP and it is laptop 8200 and the cookies are labeled Copy with my email address attached to it. It happens to attach at anytime I go to a website and I have never encountered these before. Cookies I have had no problems deleting but these just mutilply every time I delete them. I thought maybe someone else has had this problem and knew what to do. I have over 1,000+ in my cookie file and I am trying to get rid of them so my computer doesn't keep freezing up. I will try this spyware and see if it accomplishes something and get back at you.

 

 

You can try using a cookie management tool to prevent the cookies from building up again.  I've used this one in the past, and it worked well.  You tell it which cookies to automatically delete, which ones to keep, and it keeps things cleaned up for you.

Thanks for your help in the cookie file I will try the download and see if that will work. There is something that I am always learning regarding cookies. Thanks I will see how it works.

CHAOS, AdSubtract-Pro is a great way of managing cookies automatically.  It never removes cookies you need for your bank account, etc.  Download it fromm www.Intermute.com .  In addition, it blocks webpages selectively for referrers, java, popups, and more.
