Does anyone know why I keep getting this in my profile? AVG's new 8.0 keeps catching it and tells me it's there and it's warning me that it should be removed. I keep removing it, but it keeps coming back. I figure it must be a site I'm going to, yet I have my Tools Options cookies "ask me every time" when a cookie tries to come in. I've never seen this one. I've seen others that I've stopped, but never this one. How is it getting in so I can stop it. Here is is:
Documents and setting\Name\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
P3X8FLM5.Default\cookies.txt:\searchportal.information.com.fe153f20 (this changes every time)


Thanks
Silverado

AVG catches it, but spy sweeper, and spybot do not catch it. I pay for spy sweeper.
AVG 8.0 is the free version, and spybot is the free version.
