Cookies are not threats. Always use CCleaner before any virus or spyware scan.

PC Tools AV hasn't done very well in the latest VB 100 tests. Mind you, neither has Avast but not been tested on a normal platform with the newest version for awhile.

Before installing CFP +D I was running PcTools Firewall and liked the product.  I did install the PcTools Firewall Plus on my father-in-laws PC and had no complaints from him. Not to mention no signs of viruses, mal-ware or any other threats.

It does fine as a basic firewall though looking at www.Matousec.com it's near the bottom of the leak protection results.

Actually, I've heard it barely is able to protect you from inbound threats.  I heard that it stealths most of your ports, and cannont handle hackers.  But if your behind a router, its more then enough.

Also I heard about stability issues.

I have 4 home computers protected by PC Tools - both XP and Vista (however, it won't run on Vista x64). My kids and my husband prefer PC Tools, because they do not understand what Comodo says to them, and PCTools has Polish language version. I installed both FW and AV (on my husband's laptop there is Spyware Doctor with AV module) and I'm really satisfied - no problems except the pendrive infaction of my older daughter, but PC Tools managed to block it. No stability issues, no problem with CPU or RAM usage.

Thats good.  PC Tools is a great company, its just that their weakest product is their firewall, which isn't a big deal because a router is more then you need as far as a firewall is concerned.
