Advert tracking cookie from a site you visit. Adaware kicks off over any tracking cookies that it finds so if you visit a site that uses ads the likelihood is that you will pick up a cookie that adaware will complain about.

yeah, tangozebra are a UK based company that specialise in online advertising media. They're just tracking your usage on certain websites. Not harmful as they're the biggest UK online media advertising company but it does get flagged by adaware because they're tracking.

Goto your cookies folder and delete all the ones you don't want there.

i have two computers at home. A desktop which i have had for years and a laptop which i bought last November. They both have the same anti-virus etc protection. I visit the same sites on both computers (not at the same time :-) ) t is only the laptop which brings up this warning about the cookie.

I always run ccleaner before carrying adaware checks
