<div>
did you run SQL Express management via web before running the scan?
</div>


<div>
spybot isnt as good anymore try using free online scanner nod32
</div>


<div>
You would have to make an exclusion for the cookies. &nbsp;Old versions of Symantec Endpoint used to do this as well
</div>


<div>
not that i know but try it you may change your antivirus program after you yse it :)
</div>


<div>
Thank you guys, but my question is Why Spybot detects these MSSQL cookies.
</div>


<div>
Look under the SpyBot settings and preferences for Exclusions as I note above. <br />
<br />
This is an older product. If the settings are not there (not available to set) then you may need to change your Anti Virus.
</div>


<div>
Understood; i just wanted to know the why, why it’s being detected. &nbsp;Did some search with no results, thus went to EE.

&gt; &nbsp;my question is Why Spybot detects these MSSQL cookies.<br />
<br />
that's why i asked below question in the first comment.<br />
<br />
did you run SQL Express management via web before running the scan?
</div>


<div>
it is a fault of the product, these are called false positives. This is why it happens. To resolve it follow the procedures suggested by the experts mentioned above.

&gt; it is a fault of the product, these are called false positives.<br />
<br />
that's exactly what i am thinking about and what i want to investigate why. i guess the author accessed SQL Express management via web on the local computer, which might leave some cookies remaining and detected by Spybot - which will be false positive.
</div>


<div>
Did not run SQL Express management via web before running the scan (never ran via web).
</div>

<div>
what’s your Windows version? i will try installing SQL Express 2016 an reproducing the symptom.
</div>


<div>
Hi,<br />
<br />
Windows 10 Pro.<br />
<br />
My question is why? &nbsp;As to my knowledge SQL use is local here we don’t use SQL access databases via the web or VPN.<br />
<br />
My question is why do this message pops up? (Note we have run spybot &nbsp;previous and after placing this question with no problems - yet this message is always present when clicking the disable cookies button. &nbsp;And yes we know the short answer “they are cookies” - but why are they there?).<br />
<br />
Hope I have transmitted the concerne we have.
</div>


<div>
I think its a very notmal warning, the App is warning you against non Windows cookies which is something to do with how it is configured. <br />
<br />
If you set it up to accept third party cookies then it probably wont pop up again. <br />
<br />
Its nothing to do with security really. Otherwise you will get a more serious warning.

Why Spybot Search &amp; Destroy apps detects MSSQL cookies

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.

Vulnerabilities

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

Anti-Virus Apps

Spyware is software that aims to gather information about a person or organization without their knowledge and that may send such information to another entity without the consumer's consent, or that asserts control over a computer without the consumer's knowledge; it has also come to include programs that engage in various kinds of electronic fraud. Anti-spyware is software that removes or blocks that software; some common vendors include Malwarebytes, McAfee, Spybot-Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware and BitDefender.

Anti-Spyware

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.

Microsoft SQL Server

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.

OS Security

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Security

SQL (Structured Query Language) is designed to be used in conjunction with relational database products as of a means of working with sets of data. SQL consists of data definition, data manipulation, and procedural elements. Its scope includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control.

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.
