Im pretty sure a keylogger is different than a virus so is an adware traceing cookie basically the same thing? Or a possible keylogger?

G Said,
Cookies are nothing to worry about. Cookies are subject to a number of misconceptions, mostly based on the erroneous notion that they are computer programs that run on a user’s computer. In fact, cookies are simple pieces of text data that affect the operation of a web server, not the client, and do so in very specific ways. In particular, they are neither spyware nor viruses, although cookies from certain sites are described as spyware by many anti-spyware products because they can allow users to be tracked when they visit various sites.
