Scanning of cookies for the detection of viruses and malware

[MattSolo45]

It would be good to have a built-in cookie scanner against malware threats that would allow you to block such cookies, provide their quarantine and delete these files.

@MattSolo45 Hi,

What kinds of threats could exist in cookies? I've never come across that.

[MattSolo45]

@LonM Malware threats. I wrote this post after I cleaned the malware program and two other programs on my computer and found such threats in cookies, and a bit strange because they come from websites that I watch on other browsers and only in Vivaldi, have been saved and I do do not delete these files in any browser, and I accept all cookies.

@MattSolo45 Huh. I've never heard of cookies storing malware. But if that's something that exists, then having protection could be useful.

@LonM I was surprised myself when after scanning these programs, information about these files appeared in them. Rather, they have not let me down so far, so I do not know myself, but I would rather write after such a thing.

@Gwen-Dragon I used hitman pro which showed these threats and then to make sure I used malwarebytes and adw malwarebytes, that's it. just one day metagame org and dipladoks started working on my own, and I was looking for a way to remove them. I have not installed or downloaded anything lately so I could not find the source of the problem I installed malewarebytes hitman pro and adw malwarebytes and they showed me where it comes from.

[MattSolo45]

I do not know, maybe they showed wrong, maybe these programs were badly picked up because I did not see that it was possible to send malware through cookies.
