My guess: your FR cookie is benign, but your freeware A/V program either has a bug in it or let a virus slip through but can’t accurately report it to you. Load up a copy of Norton’s latest and no telling what you might find.

Load up a copy of Norton’s latest and no telling what you might find you'd really be screwed and pay lots of money to get that way.

FYI Golden Eagle, it was a problem unique to Mozilla browsers.

i use AVG Protection Suite on my Windows HD, and don't have a bit of trouble. Apparently the problem has been fixed.

A bucketful of headaches, likely.

Ever since I renewed my subscription, it won't auto-update the virus signatures. That's a new 'feature' for them.

So every couple of weeks, I have to hunt them down and manually update the virus signatures.

This thread reminded me it's time to do that.

Of course, I could pay them $10 a pop for technical support so I could chat with folks in south Asia who will start with 'reboot your computer'.

By the way - good to see you back. It's been a while. These threads aren't nearly as much fun without you on them.
