on 8/8/2006 It's well worth deleting cookies as they seem to act as a breeding ground for spyware, which can be really problematic in some cases. The easiest way to find them is to search for *@*.txt using the Windows search - from there you can just delete them. You could also try using Mozilla Firefox, which can be set to automatically delete cookies and other personal information after each web session.
