Whenever I run Ad-aware it always gives me at least one "Critical Object" and one of which is always a tracking cookie. Tonight, just before I ran Ad-aware, I deleted all of my cookies except about four of them that I want to keep. I then ran Ad-aware and it still told me it found a tracking cookie. Has any one heard of it giving false positives? Thanks

It definitely can give false positives and LavaSoft appreciates it when you report it to them... However, it is also possible that the tracking cookie in question is hidden and that you did not successfully remove it when you thought you did...
