    Hi friends!

    Last week I've downloaded the nero software's torrent file, its all started from there when I download that.

    My system got attacked by spywares, so far I formatted my system more than five times and even deleted the complete partitions couple of times and I've also used the different hard disk to escape from those spywares. but I failed.

    I've used ca internet security, ad aware, norton and avg. All the anti-spam, virus softwares are detecting and removing the tracking cookies and mru objects. But again when I connected to the internet spywares comes again.

    It shows as MRU object. spywares like atdmt.com, zedo.com and tracking cookies.

    Please friends.. Please help me how to remove all those tracking cookies and mru object completely from my system.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello chennaisakthi,

    At one point or another you will have spyware cookies inside your PC, this is all but impossible to avoid. Almost every single site on the web has some sort of cookies or another, most commonly the ones that allow you and I to be logged in at this very moment.

    As I said before, these cookies are all but harmless, I'm really not sure why the urgency to remove these cookies, they will simply come back the next time you visiit a website.

    Are you running Internet Explorer as a web browser? We can attempt to remove all but the safest cookies from being allowed, but it will more than likely affect various abilites at websites that require stored information:

    • Open Internet Explorer.
    • Click on the Tools Tab.
    • Select Internet Options.
    • Go to the Privacy Tab
    • Move the slider to the last one from the top, the bolded top should say it's now set to High.
