AVG Anti-Spyware ignoring adware?
after recently installing "Spybot - Search and Destroy" & "AVG Anti-Spyware (Free)", i ran a full system scan. my results came up with 1 Adware and 5 Tracking Cookies. Now when the scan finished, it only gives me the option to "Ignore Once" instead of Delete or something. Is that normal? and what should i do? here is a screen shot of the scan results:

any kind of anti -virus, -spyware, -adware, or any kind of -malware, SUCKS. don't use it. if you have adware, either identify it and get a remover, remove it with ur own 1337h4xk!llz, or reformat ur pc.

Tracking cookies are nothing - they can't do that much, but if you're really worried, get the domain the cookie is set to, then block that domain.  And of course, remove the cookies from your browser.

For the ad-ware, it's probably nothing.  But, it depends on what applications you've installed - if you have a decent firewall, there's nothing to worry about (as it'll block the outgoing connection).

I'm not too bothered by the cookies and adware, its just that AVG only gives me the option to Ignore not Delete :(
