    The following cookies show up on a regular basis when I run Ad-Aware. They can be deleted but reappear when rebooting. See Scan below. How do I get rid of these?

    Thanks for the quick response.
    What about this owner@msnportal.112.207[1].txt? It just looks suspicious!:)

    Run a program such as CCleaner or CleanUp! to remove cookies. By the way, Ad-Aware is useless IMO because it doesn't focus on real problems, it's main focus is on junk like cookies, MRU's, etc;

    Everytime you open a browser you will have cookies, it's normal. Run the drive clean on a daily basis and you will be fine.
