What is a cookie-207 virus?

Answer 1

The 2o7 cookie is a tracking cookie which registrates the sites you visit on the net. It invades your privacy and who know what else.

More Information:

I found what appears to be legitimate websites. There were many queries about 'cookie 2o7'. My security always catches it. The address used is my username on my web mail. They, as with many other tools, legit or otherwise, use MSN to validate their existence. I have no evidence to support the 'virus' theory. Their ISP is 207.112.xx.x I do not know all the nrs. But that is what is on 'Bing'. I do not go past the webpage. I simply do a windows scan with my security daily. My whole computer, including hardware, weekly. I also compress my disks and clean the temporary files, recycle bin, etc. I have seen problems created to sell tools. Some through 'insider trading'. I just keep my computer clean, my DSL clean, use 'in private', filter 'lock block', and try to remember no one 'gives anything away', sometimes a lucky deduction from a big corporation may fall to the end user.

I had big problems with this cookie 2o7 until I did this:

click on Tools\internet Options\Security Tab\ Restricted Sites\

Then click on 'Sites' and then in the box that reads 'Add this website to the zone:' type in *2o7.net

And no more cookies from them! Hope this works for you too... Remember its a lower case letter 'o' not the zero '0' - in 2o7.
