Spyware and Infected files are always found in the same place
Last response: in Applications
Whenever I scan my computer (which I do admittedly do alot), all my spyware and infected files are always found in the same
place. I use Panda Antivirus Global Protection.
This is where everything goes too:
C:\Users\Aton\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies
I use Windows 7.
Can anyone help me plug up the hole in which all the malicious stuff is coming from?
Thanks

Download & install malwarebytes

do a scan & look for threats, if nothing is found, don't worry, much.
As area51 said most of the cookies are not harmful, if any culprits are there, then malwarebytes & your panda will take care.

I find CCleaner to be a very usefull product when it comes to cookies...over time you can build up quite alot of them.
Newest version has a registry cleaner also.

and as the above poster said Malwarebytes is an excellent 2nd line of defenseNeither Malwarebytes (free) or ccleaner should be relied on as a 1st 'line of defense.' They are both very good software to clean a PC. However, neither provide real time protection. An antivirus, such as Avira or Avast should be considered the 1st 'line of defense.'
