Explaining Spyware 4 A Dummy!! I ran spy sweeper for MSN tonight on my computer and I had 6 spy cookies show up, they were as follows:
Tribalfusion cookie
burstbeacon cookie
redzip cookie
upspiral cookie
adserver cookie
zedo cookie
What are these and what do they do?
Do they mean someone was spying on my computer? If so and they have been put into quarenteen, are they no longer able to spy on me? Also, is there a way for me to find out who put them there and to prove this?
Please help.
