O.P. Huh?  Are cookies considered malware?
I have noticed that for most malware scanners (Spyware Doctor,etc) cookies are considered low risk malware. My experience has shown that selecting cookies for removal after a scan in general creates more problems than advantages (I had an issue of Bookmarks corruption in Firefox due to this). So, am I safe leaving cookies in my PC? Does it compromise my PC's security?
