I bet this will also remove cookies that may seem malicious but are not. Which hurts giants like Double Click who’s main source of tracking are those cookies, Google will not be happy…

Nanoscan is meant to quickly detect ACTIVE infections only. This is useful before doing an online transaction with your financial details to be sure your computer is not running any keyloggers or trojans that could capture your info.

To keep it fast and convenient, it only scans for ACTIVE infections, and it does not disinfect, so your cookies are safe.
