    Default HELP, is this a virus?

    Me and my dad were buying minecraft for me, and the thingy took ages to transfer through, so we cancelled it, we checked the paypal account again and it said it went through. I just scanned my computer and found C:\Documents and Settings\matt\Cookies\[email protected][1].txt
    C:\Documents and Settings\matt\Cookies\[email protected][1].txt
    C:\Documents and Settings\matt\Cookies\[email protected][1].txt

    Are these viruses?

    Nope, they're just tracking cookies you get from visiting certain sites.

    The reason it's listing them as a "threat" is they can be used by some sites for market research (to see which sites currently participating in the same research scheme you've been to).
