Cookienator 2.5.32 for Windows (remain anonymous from search engines)

[DainBramaged]

This is a GREAT little program that kills the stale, rotten, nasty, evil, poisonous cookies scatter throughout Windows by the trackers who LOVE to follow you around the Internet. Cookienator is a tool that will help you remain anonymous from search engines such as Google and other notorious web-usage trackers such as Doubleclick or Omniture.

It DOES NOT remove the valuable cookies you may or may want to retain, just the Google, AOL, Yahoo, and Adobe Flash tracking cookies, along with cookies from:

I use it now at work in ALL of our desktops, and because you can schedule autonomous cleaning, even the monkeys I work with can't screw it up.

Try it, you'll like it

1. I just installed it

I have ie8 set to default to inprivate blocking all and I like that fine, I just don't like the idea that anyone is trying to keep tabs on anything I do not that I do anything mind you I just don't like that someone or something is doing that. How do I know that cookienator is doing anything? With inprivate I know because of the 'done but with errors on page' message down at the lower left in the status bar.

Do I need to restart the computer to make cookienator work?

TIA

2. Run it once a week, it took out 182 .sol (Flash cookies) on the first pass for me

and I used to just search for the extension. Here is an image showing what it finds before clean up.

3. Thanks

it seems to clean my du cookies too and I'd like to keep them but I'll live with that. In your experience how does this compare to CCleaner?

4. CCleaner is the Drano of cookie cleaners, I stopped using it for that purpose

I got tired of re-entering all of my user names and passwords and having to re-log into all of the sites I use. I have enough anti-everything software on here I don't worry about attacks. Between SuperAnti-Spyware, A2, Malwarebytes, Emco and my absolute favorite Xoftspy XE, I'm OK. Of course, all of the Linux and Mac fanboys will surely remind me how pure as the driven snow their OS are, but I don't care. I am die hard Windoze.

5. I try the linux's and like some things about the different distros

but I like windows and I like and use ie8. When and if I do upgrade it will be to window7 as I've played with the beta and rc1 both and like them but I think I know xp and my way around in it and not ready to put the effort into learning seven just yet.

I'm going to have to check out Xoftspy (SE?) now. Is it free? I can't seem to find where it says it is or not. I have it downloaded now and just waiting to see how much it's going to cost if it does before I install it.

6. $29.95 Pareto Logic it simply is the best and worth every penny

I also have the U3 thumbdrive version for scanning computers at work. Plug and clean. $14.95

7. Ccleaner has an exceptions list for the cookies

you want to keep for logins. It's under "Options" > "Cookies".

8. I know, but I prefer Cookienator.....

:hi:

9. Okay, but I prefer Ccleaner....

:hi:

[woo me with science]

10. You can set CCleaner to leave the cookies you want to leave.

It is very easy in the menu. You don't even have to type them in. Just select from a list.
