But they *could* be, as much of the spyware on Windows machine is installed along with programs that one desires to install (like Kazaa or WinAmp). > Cookies are not the same thing as spyware. But the spyware removal programs consider them to be so, and list them with their other "finds." This is one of the objections I have to the way spyware detection is done. Of course, on another level, many cookies *are* used for spying on your browsing habits, as 3rd-party cookies can be used to track your browsing and create a profile of you. That's why you should refuse cookies from companies like RealMedia, Doubleclick and the like. Indeed, I refuse all 3rd-party cookies, and never allow *any* cookies to be saved beyond the current session. If I had a Mac, I'd do the same thing. -- David W.
