Best Answer: Tracking cookies aren’t actually viruses in the strictest definition. They just “spy” what you are doing (which means what kind of websites you are visiting) and, as far as I know, they send this information to sites that they had been fetched from.

As to the files that you can delete or not, there is always at least one simple rule for that: If the infected files are located in the WINDOWS catalog – be careful. You would just need to take a closer loot at each of such files and if these files are the system files, then you should try to fix them first. If the fixing doesn’t work, you may try to look for these files on the Internet first (e.g. the DLL files), delete the infected ones (if not possible normally because the system saying that they are in use, you may then try to delete them in the Safe Mode -pushing the F8 key while system startup-), place the earlier downloaded files in the same catalog from which you’ve just deleted the infected ones and finally reboot your computer letting it to launch up normally.

Finally, if the infected files don’t belong to the system, but to some applications that you have installed yourself, you may easily uninstall these applications without any anxiety

• All tracking cookies can be deleted safely. Should you return to the website, it tracks your movements within the site. It is not something deemed safe with some sites, but ok with others. Eg, when you log into Yahoo, it sends a tracking cookie. Delete all as I do and have recently been recommended to do so by a technician.
• They aren’t viruses, only cookies
  “Cookies, can they be dangerous for your privacy?
  What are Cookies for?
  It is very important for every site recognize their visitors.”Recognition” helps for a site to perform such features as storage of perchases in internet-shops, it allows a user to be recognized by a site without entering name and password every time he or she goes to the page requiring registration. This mechanism is called session.
  Any site requires authorization and checks visitor name …”
• Well if u can, move them to vault or repair, but repair may cause the viruses to be abominable again…

  I’m using A-vast and I always move them to chest(similar to vault in AVG)
  Look at it, if it’s system files, think twice before you move them to vault or delete it..

• they r just stored by browser sites for faster acess
  u can remove thm n no harm in it

  you can always delete the files with following extensions :

  1)*.tmp
  2)*.dir00

  N

  3) chkdk file fragments

  without any hesitations

• They’re all tracking cookies, not required system files, and should be fine to delete.
• seeing as there all cookies, im pretty sure it will be fine.

  go onto wikipedia and look up cookie and you will se what i mean

• Permanent solution is using Linux.
• These are pieces of files stored by your browser for faster access when you go back to a website…They are safe to remove!
