I have never had a problem, but I never click on anything else after voting.

cookies don't exactly mean spyware either.



I like your sig, but you're no jedi, those mind tricks won't work on me :P

OK Emoticon, you learned a little about computers and now know what a cookie is. congrats. now lets move on.

cookie != spyware

I'm not saying that a cookie can't be used in malicious ways, but the majority of cookies you get are legitimate and only make your surfing experince better.

If you're worried about security, adjust your IE security settings so that the internet zone is more secure, and get a firewall, a hardware firewall, not the software kind.

sorry. I tried saying it nice the first time, but felt that since voting gets the game noticed on these sites, and we get new players from these sites, then it's stupid to let some miss-information scare people away from voting.

I'm listing things that were on my comp.

trojans usually come from applications that my sister opens...

I'm just curious.
