Hi. My Norton 360 keeps picking up this tracking cookie several times a day.

Tracking cookieeter@atdmt.com
Tracking cookie:Orphan cleanup

It says that a manual repair is needed, it does not give a directory or any other information other that its a low risk and it gathers personal information and browsing records but dosn't send them to a third party.

thanks for any help.

No, the stick out tongue is supposed to be !! You can simply type; colon, small p.
You did that, but you put a space between the colon & p. >>no space<<= joy!.

If you are running the Firefox browser with "No Script" you need to approve "yahooapis.com". Make the approval temporary. You won't be able to re-edit a title until that is stopped..

Is it possible that you either revisit the site that sets the cookie frequently, or that you have an auto update running,

Both Firefox and Opera browsers can be configured to "clear private data" (cookies and such) when the browser is closed. My security programs don't even find cookies, unless I've used Internet Explorer.
