Everytime I do a spyware scan with AVG antispyware, than why do I found a lots of infected objects for eg tracking cookies? I scan my system with AVG software. I delete the tracking cookies, three days later I do another scan and there are more cookies? Could anyone tell me what these infected objects are? How do I get rid of them?

Cookies get downloaded and stored on the computer from the websites that you visit on the computer.
Everytime you visit a web page, it downloads cookies that helps you to view the webpage in a better and faster way.
If AVG if detecting tracking cookies, there is nothing much to be worried about.
