Tracking cookies show up in Webroot but not Norton or Kaspersky
Hi all.
For the past year I've used Kaspersky Internet Security along with Webroot Antivirus with Spy Sweeper.
Spy Sweeper always found tracking cookies that Kaspersky did not.
Switched to Norton Security Suite (complimentary from Comcast) and have the same situation.
Spy Sweeper is showing the usual suspects:
Spy Cookie found: doubleclick cookie
Spy Cookie found: statcounter cookie
Spy Cookie found: yieldmanager cookie
Spy Cookie found: burstnet cookie
Spy Cookie found: bs.serving-sys cookie
Spy Cookie found: serving-sys cookie
Spy Cookie found: realmedia cookie
Spy Cookie found: atlas dmt cookie
Spy Cookie found: tribalfusion cookie
Spy Cookie found: apmebf cookie
Spy Cookie found: mediaplex cookie
Spy Cookie found: questionmarket cookie
etc.
Why would the security suites not catch these?
How dangerous are they?
Should I reup Spy Sweeper since the Suites don't catch this?
Thanks
