Cookies

I have the free version of Spyware Doctor. Meaning I have to manually remove injections on my PC. If any of you have this program you would know almost always it detects brower downloading and removes them. Since I do not want to go through every Temp Internet File I simply go to internet options and click delete files and cookies. It removes everything. So when I use Spyware Doctor to check for brower activity it has a count of zero files because I delete all of them. Today for some reason after doing this 15 remained again and again. 5 of them are unwanted cookies according to Spyware Doctor. How do I remove them, is there a hidden place where cookies are stored such that using the feauture "Delete Cookies" fails?

For example, one of the thing it detects it reads.

If you removed the files in IE, then they should have been deleted. Try rebooting and see if the message still shows up. The cookies should be in "C:\Documents and Settings\user name\cookies." If there are no files there, then do a search.

Also in IE, there is an option to delete Temp. files everytime IE closes.
Options->Advanced->Security->Empty Temp Files when browser is closed.

Or you could try using Firefox.

I think I know what the problem is.

I always use IE, but there were times I used Firefox. Now I believe IE uses a different cookies system than Firefox. IE simply creates a text document for any cookie, while Firefox creates a single text file and in it (each line) is a different cookie. Thus, when I delete my cookies the computer does not delete the firefox text cookie. But when I went to Firefox and clicked on Delete Personal Infromation it worked!!!. Spyware Doctor did not find anything.
