We received a Microsoft Alert message that just popped up
while operating on Explorer. The Alert said a simple test
had been done and identified a cookie on our computer that
allowed tracking of all of our on-line activity. It
allows people to track what we input on-line. It said a
tracking software was detected. A link was provided to do
a free download of a scanner that would remove all spyware
programs. Is this something we should fololow through
on? Is it a legitimate alert?
Thank You
