One question about the post to which the below is a response: In the course
of describing your search for the quarantine folder and so forth, you twice
mention looking into your cookies folder and noting that the "tracking
cookies" were still there.
What I'd like to be clear about is, by this phrase, do you actually mean all
cookies? Because many of the cookies on our systems serve worthwhile
purposes to do with enabling convenient logging on, and other such things.
Are you capable of distinguishing "good" cookies from "bad" ones, and
calling the bad ones "tracking cookies?"I'm not, myself. I trust AddAware
to remove only cookies that are truly intrusive or mischievous, and trust it
to know them from the others.

Thanks for the clarification.

Hello Alan.
I never could get Control +M to work correctly.
I have always pressed the application's key and arrowed down to mark all.

Subject: Where does Ad-aware put quarantined files?
Hello listers,
I recently installed the latest version of Ad-aware SE Personal on my Win XP
Pro system, and I have the JFW scripts for Ad-aware installed. After running
the program, it informed me that it found several tracking cookies, which it
quarantined, but when I looked for the quarantine directory in
programs/lavasoft/ad-aware, I found no such directory.
When I looked at the cookies directory, the tracking cookies were still
there.
Next, I looked for the logs directory which is supposed to be in the
ad-aware directory, to see what the log file contained, but there is no log
directory or log file. What gives?
I made sure to do a Control + M, which selected all the files that Ad-aware
wanted to quarantine, but those files were still in the cookies directory
afterward. Am I missing something here?
Alan
