Is it normal for NIS to show this, I have Tracking cookies detected, then removed.

but not, Not detected before.?

It shows 22 Tracking cookies have been fully resolved

Have they ???????????????

 

Replies would be appreciated

Hi Pennbank:

 

Try running the Quick Scan again.

 

Kindly advise.

Hi Pennbank

 

If you just got the new update for NIS, please try rebooting your computer before you try the scan again. Perhaps the new update needs another reboot to get settled in.

Hi

Does this mean Norton has checked for them and they are not there

or does it mean Norton has stated they are on my system but can not find them ?

Hi Pennbank:

 

I see what you mean.

 

What Internet Browser are you using?

 

Have you tried flushing the internet broswer cache of all cookies and then doing a Full System Scan?

 

It would seem to me that NIS has these marked, but could not find them for deletion.

 

Then it says "Orphan cookie cleanup - Removed," but not from NIS, I think. It seems that something is out of sync.

 

Kind of strange, IMO.

 

Please try the above and post back.

Hi Pennbank

 

I don't have the product, but I would interpret that to mean that you had these cookies in your computer, that they were deleted and they haven't come back to your computer again, so therefore not detected any more. I would suggest that you use your computer as you normally do and see if these cookies come back after a day or 2 of normal use. I think it's like a confirmation that it actually did get rid of these cookies and can't find them any more. This is just my interpretation, don't know if this in Norton's intent or not.

Just a thought, do you have any coupon printers installed from those coupon printing websites?  Ive had them pop up like that in past.

I got rid of them it worried me.  Now I cant say they were the same files I dont recall just seemed similiar.

I had other scans (malware type) say it was spyware (coupon printers).

Nope
