Already have Ad-Aware and I have not gotten any cookies from using Xolox. I have got some from the bogus files which are nothing more than ad bombs from various websites which should be banned from the web. Thing is I got those also from other shareware systems along with all sorts of other crap from those systems that I did not want. The thing is no matter what someone does to stop crap like spyware or adware there is always someine who will find a way around those barriers. Thus technology progresses.
