How can you take out the cookie virus?
A cookie is not a virus. A cookie is just a file, usually text, that browsers use to store information on your computer. A good use for cookies is staying logged into sites. Once you enter your password, the site creates a cookie on your computer.All you have to do to get rid of unwanted cookies is to find them and physically delete them. In IE, you can simply open the folder that contains them and delete them. In other browsers, you can find the cookies through the settings and delete the ones you don't want. Or, if you prefer, you could get a program like Ccleaner to remove them for you. Also, any spyware removal program will remove the more malicious cookies. What makes them malicious is not their contents, but how they are being used by websites.
