Is MajorGeeks infecting me?

    I just installed Spyware Doctor, having had to rebuild my PC the last few days due to malware. I went to download Spybot and Ad-Aware and as soon as I hit majorgeeks.com I started getting alerts that I was getting 2 cookies from tribalfusion.com. Spyware Doctor intercepts them I think, and when I refresh the page or go to the download page they keep attempting to come back.

    What's up?

    Hi

    Tribalfusion ( the advertising banner at the top of this forum is from tribal fusion ) is just a cookie and for the most part cookies are harmless creatures, however many anti-malware applications decide to list them as criticals to increase their detection count and scare the hell out of users.

    I can assure you Majorgeeks is not infecting you, as we are in the business of fighting malware and not propagate it.
