Chris,
it isn't that I don't sympathize with your apprehensiveness about the Mark
All thing. But I learned early on that AdAware isn't written so that it
simply attacks all your cookies indiscriminately. I know it doesn't do
that. Maybe it distinguishes certain kinds of tracking cookies that vendors
use, but even then, I'm not sure, because (to use Amazon again as an
example) AdAware doesn't prevent the Amazon computers from showing me
reminders of my previous product searches to help me remember my shopping
strategy and of course help them track customer behavior for their own
marketing enlightenment. Which doesn't offend me at all. They're not the
FBI, after all.
So I don't think you should be too afraid. Every time I run AdAware, it
finds and quarantines a bunch of "objects," as it calls them, and nothing in
my operation is ever disturbed or hampered. So I think it must be all good,
like they say.
Daniel

Actually, I think it's me that is misunderstanding. I was thinking that
Ad-Aware collects each and every cookie and deletes them all. If I
understand what you're saying, those cookies that I wish to keep, such
as ones for registered newspaper Web sites, will not come up in the
scan? If so, then I'm worried about nothing and should just go ahead
and select all.
I guess it just boils down to me feeling a bit nervous about deleting
items without being completely sure that I would want to do so.

Hi,
I just want to interject that my experience hasn't been that AdAware
indiscriminately wipes out all the useful cookies in my cookie folder.
If
that were the case, I'm be one very unhappy and inconvenienced puppy.
I'd
be unable to log onto a number of sites that are vitally important to
me
without the time consuming, and labor intensive (using a screen reader)
task of reregistering every time I'd run AdAware. Which isn't the case.
If you meant some very specific types of cookies are deleted or
quarantined
by AdAware when you use the Mark All feature, and not all cookies,
please
explain. I scan with AdAware once a day or so, and if I had to
reregister
every day to read the newspaper I read online and to let Amazon know
that it
was I who'd just logged on, and to connect with my account, I wouldn't
be
using AdAware, you can be sure.
Am I misunderstanding what you're saying, here? If so, please explain.
thank you very much,
Daniel

Selecting all with Control + M didn't work in Ad-Aware on one computer,
but on my other computer I haven't tried to select all yet. I'll give
it a try. But, of course, my main concern is not being able to pick and
choose which items to quarantine. To give an example, I do have some
convenient cookies that I don't want deleted which select all will
remove. Sure, I would instruct Ad-Aware to ignore those particular
items, but that brings me back around to the original problem which is
not being able to select the items individually.
At any rate, it sounds like Ad-Aware works fine for most everyone for
the basics.

if you use the key strokes, control+M to select all and control for
next, it
should work just fine.

Hi Wendy. The script for Ad-aware helped me utilize the program to some
degree, but I still have difficulties using the program. In fact, on a
secondary computer, the script didn't really help at all. Where I
usually run in to a problem is the area that I'd select the items I want
to quarantine. Anyway, my point is that the script may help or it may
not depending on the behavior of Ad-Aware on your particular computer
plus your familiarity with it. For me, I'm about ready to give up and
hope to come across a more Jaws-friendly program since I can scan but
not quarantine. But hey, it's worth a try and may work just fine for
you.
