Each time I access Firefox I get a prompt from my AVG Resident Shield Alert saying. "File name: c:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\u7trq99x.default\cookies.sqlite". "Information: Found Tracking cookie.2o7". It gives me 3 options: 1) Add to Exceptions or 2) Go to file or 3) Ignore. This prompt comes up every time I use Firefox and I'm getting tired of it. This started within the last week or so. How can I eliminate this cookie and stop the AVG prompt?

Thanks

The file cookies.sqlite is the SQLite database file that Firefox uses to store the cookies.

You can disable that check in AVG as there is no need to remove that file.
