Is there such a thing as getting a cookie into your computer by following a link found in an email message ?
Sure, all web sites set cookies... that's no big deal.


If you clicked a link that took you to a web site, you got their cookie, that's all.





Edit: I assume the asker knew the source of the link.
Reply:A very big hint for you%26gt;%26gt;NEVER click on any link in an e-mail. You will get nothing but trouble. Unless i know the person who is sending a link and that i know all about the link i will never click on any link even if a relative sends it. This has helped me to stay viris free for 5 years and i run a business on my computer,
