Why doesn't MBAM show tracking cookies in scans?

[Daveski17]

I use the freeware MBAM along with some other anti-malware programs (Spybot S&D, SpyWareBlaster). Spybot will find tracking cookies after I have done an MBAM scan. The MBAM just gives me a clean bill of health all of the time. I check for updates everytime I am on the computer (virtually daily). Is it that MBAM just doesn't view tracking cookies as any real risk?

Exactly, because tracking cookies aren't really malware, even though they can be used to track the sites you've been to, they are easily removed by deleting them in internet options or using a temporary file remover like Ccleaner.

The biggest reason is that 95% of the people we asked did not want cookie scan either because they know that they are not actually malware (ware implies the ability to execute , cookies are data) or they already had awesome tools to deal with cookies .

OK, thanks for the information.
