    Cookies are nothing to worry about. Just go to Internet settings and select delete cookies. I also see your using sandboxie. If you have it set to delete contents on exit then it would get rid of all cookies and other left overs of that session.

    I found this "severe" warning funny :)
    This kind of FUD is of course unethical.

    But, cookies are actually among the most devious and stealthy monsters, they don't even need startups or services to stay on your system :D

    You all stop laughing when Joanne publishes her first essay on a text.file format based exploit, capable of fooling virtualisation and elevation control in the new WIndows 7 OS (off course this exploit is backwards compatible for all NT based Microsoft OS-ses)

    The .txt exploit can also be used to hijack Threads regardless of the Forum format.

    Also try these reputable Online Scanners, must accept ActiveX:

    Windows Live OneCare Safety Scanner:
    http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/default.htm

    01)- Protection = Virus/Spyware Scan
    02)- Clean Up = Registry and Hard Drive Scan

    Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool:
    http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.aspx

    01)- More comprehensive and customizable scans compared to the Windows and Microsoft Update Scans
    02)- Choose Run, do not download

    ssj you do need to run antimalware, linux fanboys say it to advertise it, but think about it there are people on this forum using windows without antivirus here, does that mean you dont need it?
    what i read was linux, like every operating system, also can get viruses, but has far less exploits, because no matter how secure your system is, if someone is dumb enough to install file and it has a key logger for example, then there will always be a need for antimalwares.

    Haha nice one AKO:thumb:

    There are more or less two directions in security:
    - the Monolith kernels (WINTEL stream)

    - the micro OS-kernel


    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing)
    and for the debate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanenbaum–Torvalds_debate

    I am really interested in the to be launched netbook OS of Google, it should have some of the benefis of a small kernel, until then Joanna will find vulnarabilities of specific hardware vendors trying to outmax their features between firmware and the kernel, without proper standards. So complex code and complex interfacing will inevitably suffer from exploits as addressed in that video.

    Regards Kees

    I use Linux and WOT. So WOT should help with securing Linux even more.
