|
I just opened my cookie file after getting a string of annoying pop-ups that would not go away. I am always amazed at the number of files that there are.
So how often do you clean out this file? And....just exactly how scary is it that people can access your computer through spyware?

4. Question from a moron: How do you clear a cookie file? |
|
I know how to clear the "history" -- but what is the cookie file usually under?

I'll try it ...
Hope I don't clear all info. off my hard drive -- that's something I'd probably do!

just beware, if you haven't done it in a while, deleting those temp files takes a bit of time

7. More often than I chuck my cookies. |
|
The last time I chucked my cookies was in 1974, in Ensenada, Mexico, after a long day of drinking 25 cent Tequila sunrises.
I have a thing for not vomiting.
