When do cookies and warnings become a problem?

Question

I scan my computer every once in a while, and there are always about 100 of warnings and cookies.

They just sit there, and my computer works exceptionally fine. But they've been piling up recently, and I thought "what if all of a sudden BAM! My computer takes a hit from all the warnings and cookies?"

So I'm asking if that's ever going to happen. So I have to worry if I don't deal with cookies and warnings? I don't have a cookie remover, and I'm not sure how to get rid of warnings.... any advice?

Answer 1

Cookies usually won't bother you.

If you want to remove them, run CCleaner.

http://www.ccleaner.com/

It will remove a bunch of stuff from your computer, temp files, cookies, etc.

Its great for cleaning up the registry too.

Answer 2

Your PC will not get infected from cookies. It's a privacy issue.

Here are some articles to read:

If you are using internet explorer, you can open the temporary internet file folder and delete them, if wanted.

Or you can control their installation from the browser. Look in the help file for whatever browser you use.
