Atdmt is easy to get rid of.(If you know how). This Microsoft marketing
cookie has an opt out option installed on your computer. The easiest and
quickest option is to search "atdmt opt out" on Google you will find the
atdmt site at the top of the results. Click on that and you will get the
removal tool. Please note you must not block atdmt.com in your sites list in
internet options/ privacy (if it is blocked you must allow it). What happens
is atdmt will replace the offending cookie with another which does not
function. I had 120 threats detected by AVG and it drove me mad before I
discovered this simple solution. - Dave
