These aren't viruses, but they can contain personal information such as browsing habits or history.  This information can be collected by sites you visit unintentionally in the advertising sections.\n\nMost cookies store personal information so you don't have to enter it in each time you visit these sites.  If you delete your cookies, you will lose any customization you now enjoy on the websites you frequent.\n\nTo delete cookies open IE, go to Tool==>Internet Options==>General Tab.  Click the Delete Cookies button.

This has happened to me a few times. I block all cookies and hasn't happened to me since. This is not cause by spy ware unless the website you went to was directly linked from the spy ware, another words, if you clicked on an ad.

Cookies are not "harmful."  They are flat text files.  The harmful stuff are scripts and programs.  Cookies show up in spy ware scans because they represent an effort by someone on the Internet to catalog or store something from you. Cookies that show up in spy ware scans are normally from known advertisers or marketeers who are marking your information so they can collate into statistics that they sell to others.  Be deleting these files you are telling those marketeers 'NO THANKS.' Don't use me to make money on.\n\nBut not all cookies are bad.  In some cases this may be the fact that you visited the site before and when you go back to the site it responds with "Hi Wendy, welcome back."  How did they know who you are?  Because of a cookie.

It could be an extension you installed. I have found that the extension "NoScript" can cause a lot of weird things to happen, especially in Yahoo. Also, check your cookie settings.

If you are asking if it is a virus then no it is not.  However, it seems that it CAN but may not cause issues on Windows 98FE, 98SE and ME.  Which operating system are you using?

Cookies are a security question, one you can determine by going to Tools, Internet Options, and then check the settings. You should see a setting for cookies under General. The higher the security setting, the less information your computer will accept.

You did not get a virus from the yahoo tracking cookies. However to delete all cookies in Internet Explorer click on tools, then internet options.\n\nYou can click delete cookies, and it is probably not a bad idea to click delete files as well. \n\nYou can do a free online virus scan at\nhttp://www.pandasoftware.com/\n\nOr you can download Ad-Aware for free which will not check for virus but will check to see if you have spyware on your computer. http://www.lavasoft.com/

Your computer might not be saving cookies. Cookies save information from web sites such as passwords. You'd need to alter your security settings to enable them, and you'd need the rights to do that - are you on your own computer or a networked system? On your own computer its quite easy, but if you don't know how to do it, or really what you are doing, it is safer to just re-enter the passwords every time you access the site.
