[Simply Computers] Re: tracking cookies

 

No need to worry about tracking cookies, or buy something to remove them, they are harmless.

You wrote that you have avg and avasti. Did you mean avast, not avasti? And you also now have norton? You should not have more than 1 anti-virus programs active on your machine. Of the three I would prefer to stay with Avast and remove the others.

I would suggest that you add CCleaner, and Malwarebytes, both are free. I'm not to keen on Spybot so I don't have it installed.
