    Hi there.

    I run Spybot weekly and try to maintain a clean PC. Lately my Spybot shows a tracking cookie and I can't seem to get rid of it. It is the ad.yieldmanager.com cookie.

    I have seen another post in the malware forum ("Re: ad.yieldmanager.com help") with a similar problem, but it is slightly old. Is this what I should do also, or is there a new solution?

    Thanks so much (you guys are awesome).

    Do you have URL Assistant installed? Check your add/remove list. Uninstall it if you do.

    No, Tim, Url Assistant does not show up in my add/remove app. Thanks for asking though.

    This is not truely malware. You need to run CCleaner as well as remove all internet explorer cache items. .

    You may also want to read the below thread where yieldmanager was also discussed.
