Super Cookies

Hi,

I'm trying to decide whether to download an add on for firefox which allegedly cleans supercookies (just not sure about compatibility with N360). However, I read some posts saying that CC Cleaner is better. I've also read in these forums that SuperAntiSpyware is good (not sure if it does super cookies though) but I had the full version of Spyware Doctor and it didn't get along with Norton...so I uninstalled it.

My question: Does N360 clean supercookies? If yes, is it only in the comprehensive scans?

P.S. Which program would you reccomend?

I have BetterPrivacy for firefox and I don't have any problems. Go for it!

Make sure you check either "remove LSO cookies on exit" or "remove LSO cookies on startup".

OK it says Warning Script Timed out. I kept clicking continue and apparently it says it zapped 1,994 LSO's (Supercookies).

Browser seems a hair quicker too:)

Thanks dude!

It works fine as installed. Once you feel your way around you can customize it more.
