Thanks for the warning. It hit me a couple of days later when AVG updated their Link Scanner db: 8.5.136 I tried to resolve this by disabling Surf Shield and Search Shield in AVG/Tools/Advanced Settings, but the problem persisted. Advice elsewhere is to turn off add-ons in Firefox; dificult when Firefox will not load. So, I loaded Firefox by right clicking on the program icon which offers a safe mode and then selected disable add-ons and restart. If you do this and re-enable all add-ons except AVG Safe Search, everything will work properly, at least it did for me.

I guess that Mozilla and/or Greesoft people solved this issue. I am using
FIREFOX 3.0.10
AVG Free 8.5.339 (it have had a major software change 3 days ago) Virus DB 270.1235/2132
Each time FIREFOX opens, AVG registered “Found Tracking Cookie 2o7″. Up to 14/05/2008 it was clasifield as “Potentially dangererous Object” showing a pop-up window and delayinf Firefox.
Now it is healed w/o pop-up and delay

I have this combination and this problem. I couldn’t find the “safe search” feature to change the setting.

Yesssss!!!! Yes, yes, yes!!

SHAZZAMM!! Hallelujah!

I am so glad you published this fix. I have had deep troubles with my Firefox web browser, and could not identify the source. I will attempt this fix just as soon as I get back in front of my PC at home.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is a great blessing to me. I have been so very frustrated.
