    Ad-Aware keeps coming up with this 'tracking cookie' and I havent been able to find out by any MGs or Google search what it means.
    Thoughts?

    Its a cookie used by a CGI script. CGI scripts are a somewhat older way of using content on web pages. Odds are its from a bulletin board, like this one, somewhere. It should be harmless, actually probably helpful. Ive never seen a harmful cookie to date.
