Yep, you got them or they were already cleared out. Cookies "are" left behind. Those
aren't cleared out, when you choose to delete your TIF, even though they show in
there.
The Cookies folder is in Windows, C:\Windows\Cookies. You can delete the ones you
don't need for logon, such as the Annoyance's Cookie. You can set the size way down
as low as 5 MB. Those files are very small and should be cleared out regularly. Do
you use Netscape as your main browser? It has it's own cache to clear out, I'm sure
you know that.
Have you checked in the other temp folders? You can check either by opening Windows
Explorer or double click My Computer icon on the desktop - double click C drive.
Scroll down to the Windows folder. The Temp folder, Cookies, and temp internet files
folder are all there.
You're probably all set, since your IE is repaired. Let me know how it goes. I hope,
you've got all the baddies out of there now! I was surprised another scan found more
trojans.
