I am not an expert in this, but all I know is that every night when my AVG Anti-Virus software runs, in the morning it shows two cookies from webtrends: (1) "m.webtrends[2].txt" and (2) "m.webtrends[2].txt:m.webtrends[2].txt.b4xxxxxx".  Webtrends has put something on my computer and AVG Anti-Virus says it is an "infection" and a "potentially dangerous object".  I visit sites like The New York Times et al, and I know they put cookies on my computer, but AVG Anti-Virus doesn't consider them to be "infections" or "potentially dangerous objects", so something must be up.  Can you explain why AVG Anti-Virus points out the Webtrends cookies?  Thanks in advance.
