www.sunbelt-software.com/dellscan

I got this from Dell and it pulled 963 adware files off my computer. It has a 10 day trial and is the best Ive seen.

blue,
you've asked a very good question. I think it depends. I get a tracking cookie just by going to THIS site (the RX). Don't even have to make a post a tracking cookie is placed on my computer.
Maybe all websites do it--I don't know.
