Cookies and cache folder?
On your computer, what exactly are cookies? What happens when you delete them? Are they bad to delete? Are there bad cookies, or are they good? Should you delete them each time you get off the internet?
Also, what is an internet cache? Should you delete it? Is it bad to delete, or is it good?
I'm just wondering because my computer keeps getting spy ware it. Does deleting these things help from spy ware coming? If not, can you answer those questions above anyways? Sorry this isn't long or anything but has a million questions. :P Thanks in advance!

When you sign in on advicenators.com and choose "remember me", it saves a cookie on your computer. This cookie contains your password and username.

If you delete all your cookies, all your "remember me" data from all sites will be lost, so I don't recommend it.
A cache is a copy of a web page your computer saves so it loads faster. People can use these to see what sites you've been to. The cache isn't harmful at all, it's only a privacy issue.
