Will Evercookie show up when you do a search or is it hidden too well? I
just did and got nothing. I also use SuperAntiSpyware.

Use the Evercookie test page.

http://samy.pl/evercookie/

The test buttons are half way down the page.

The test button sets a cookie. Shut down the browser.
Do your best to remove all cookies, then start the browser,
revisit that web page, and see if the Evercookie can be detected.

If the cookie cannot be recovered, it means you've broken the
common exploit paths.

If anyone write better sneaky code than Samy, then
you might still be getting cookies of that type. The
Samy javascript, just covers the methods he discovered.
Which are still pretty impressive.
