How come some spyware are ALWAYS present?

[COCOTHECOCONUTJUICE]

Do you know that the following spywares ALWAYS re-spawn no matter how many times you wipe them out.

The only AntiSpyware that detects them is SpypotSD (Microsoft's AntiSpyware won't even detect)

Adverstising.com
Avenue A. Inc.
Bfast
CoreMetrics
DoubleClick
FastClick
HitBox
MediaPlex
ValueCick
WebTrends Live.

Can somesome please explain - I want to delete them forever but they keep coming back up.

For example, I do not wish nor give consent to give "WebTrends" to collect my websurf habits. So why does Micrsoft
allow it? Thanks in advance.

Tracking cookies are not really spyware programs.

They don't run on your computer as programs, they just let companies track your online activities between certain websites. They may know you went from Amazon to Newegg but they can't steal your credit card info.

Try setting your privacy settings higher in IE or whatever browser you use, or running some cookie-management application.

If they are cookies, then whatever websites you go to, just puts them back on your computer. Just delete them from your browser. If you're using Firefox select "Tools" and then "Clear Private Data." Maker sure the cookie box is checked and click the clear button.
