I believe your talking about (BootCamp) Windows 7 OS, as I haven't run into that one on the Mac side yet.

The cookie is IN the Local Documents folder. Either in the physical folder or in an invisible temporary cache folder with the same name.

If you if you click on the warning window for the Virus/Malware app that popped up the cookie warning and it takes you to a folder with numerous other similar files then you can delete it right then. If it just shows a window with other folders but no files it should just be referring to an invisible "temporary" Cache file, so you won't be able to do anything with it.

If you follow the path it usually has a dot in front of it, which means it's invisible and it says it's in a "temporary file" etc... The next time you close the app IE, FireFox, etc, it should (sometimes) erase it or restart the computer it will (should) erase those files.
