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
