For users who keep all cookies off, only allowing those they need clearing when exiting the browser. I'm aware cookies can be read or stolen by certain types of malware, but is there anything capable of seeing what cookies are only accepted by the browser?
Thanks in advance.

Malware is the big picture. Spyware is a part of malware.
Malware = Virus, Spyware, Trojan, Worm, Rootkit, etc.

Sorry, I forgot to fill in on that one.
To get rid of viruses, use an antivirus for virus removal.
To get rid of spyware, use anti-spyware for spyware removal.
The latest ones of either promise to take out root-kits, that goes for many programs out there. Also, don't rely on antivirus for spyware removal and vice-versa.
