Can surf bars cause you to get errors in your drives?

I downloaded a surfbar yesterday and today I deleted some C:/WINDOWS/ cookies file that was stuck in my documents That I would have not put there.Could this have been part of the surfbar program, cause later a message came up on my screen from the surfbar saying that they detected a device used to "CHEAT" with.Could it had mistaken a missing file for cheating and could that cause my drives to get errors?I had to try to scan disk my computer numerous times before it finally found an error in my drive and was able to correct it and finish the disk scan so I could do a disk defrag.The error it found said it was some long C;/WINDOWS file?Also I do know of any cheating device.What could that be?

the taskbar should have no business messing around with your drives, so make sure you didnt delete something important. thats my only guess, ive never heard of a surf bar causing any problems, besides why would you want one, they track everywhere you go and stuff.

I don't care about them tracking where I have been.Its not like I have been at some private forum contemplating murder or something.I don't go anywhere that I have to be ashamed of.And if they send me email relating to things I am interested in ,thats a bonus in my opinion.
