Tracking cookies can then report that information back to a third party. Some programs rely on other programs that are classified as security risks to function. For example, a shareware or freeware program that you download might use adware to keep its price low. In this case, you might want to allow the security risk program to remain on your computer. Also, you might need to restore the security risk program if Spyware Protection has removed it.
