Whoa! Cookies aren't viruses, they are pretty harmless and, even after you delete, they will come back as you surf the web, so you'll keep finding them. That's normal.

Spyware IS NOT "pretty harmless"
....just because you personally don't mind being tracked and spied on by EVERY type of buisness out there including the buisnesses in ALL other countries as well, doesn't mean you should be telling others that cookies are pretty harmless.
Cookies are only pretty harmless when concerning the isssue of them not acting like a virus, thus they are pretty harmless to the proper working condition of your pc/laptop and its operating system.
