Download site warnings

[AllFoamNoBeer]

I just set up a Spyware Doctor full scan, and when it came to scanning my cookies, from 45 infections it jumped to 127 infections, after going through ausgamers and fangaming.com.

Totally freaked me out..
I used both sites to download my 1.4 patch (download manager)

Just be careful.

use firefox and set the cookie permission to originating site only, that way you can keep you autologin but not any of the other addclick.net or whatever cookies..

Cookies aren't spyware/viruses..

- Open your cookie folder

You'll notice it are .txt files, they aren't spyware/viruses..

Re: Download site warnings

Cookies are also subject to a number of misconceptions, mostly based on the erroneous notion that they are computer programs. In fact, cookies are simple pieces of data unable to perform any operation by themselves. In particular, they are neither spyware nor viruses, despite the detection of cookies from certain sites by many anti-spyware products.
