Is this a concern? It definitely goes against what is published.


ARE WE UNDER ATTACK?

If there were something sinister going on, would something related to a random craptastic thread about Crompton really be one of the super-secret undeletable cookies? Come on. Temper your paranoia with a little realism, please.

The problem is that either your web browser or your operating system (or, more likely, both) isn't doing a good job flushing the toilet after doing its business. That's not Freak's fault.

1. Stop using IE
2. Delete your own cookies manually or use a shredding/cleaning program. One has been suggested and it works very well. You can also google ccleaner.
3. Use the security settings for your browser to limit cookies from being stored on your computer.
4. Unless you are giving out your personal info on volnation, you have little to fear from cookies off this site.
5. Get a good anti-virus and run it regularly. Keep it updated.
6. If you still have problems, take your computer outside, shoot it with a shotgun about 20 times.
7. If it is still giving you problems, you need to find John Conner and join his group.

I appreciate your input,you are one of the most articulate posters in all of vol nation(my opinion).I had no opinion on what came from where.Nor would I assign blame to Freak in an unfounded manner.My comments where strictly a series of Questions and concerns About Internet Browser History cookies that My series of security software Tells me are present on my computer.In all honesty I have seen the possibility as you state to the alternative sources.My thoughts were designed to high light my concerns and solicited recourse as to causality.
I can see were a perceived contradiction might exist,as to my original statements,But I can assure you that was not my intention.

As far as Paranoia is concerned.......Paranoia definition | Dictionary.com

It seems to be a case of that old dog chasing his tail. The more you argue against it the more you seem to be guilty of it.So I admit freely that I am.But I take refuse in the fact that 80% of the nation fits the criteria.In so much as if you are accused you are,and the more you argue against it, using logic and reason the guiltier your are of being (it) paranoid.
