How might virus scanning or spyware scanning programs interact with the PC identification cookie placed on my computer?
When you use virus or spyware scanning software, it scans your computer and rates potentially threatening files on a scale from low to high. Cookies are usually rated as low threats. Some software allows you to flag specific cookies as “no threat.” If you flag a cookie as “no threat,” it will not be rated the next time you scan your computer for viruses or spyware.
