Can you name a few cookies that AVG detected that Spybot-Search&Destroy missed?

I'm pretty sure (it could be incorrect) that Spybot-SD detects TribalFusion.

Have you tried removing the cookies with the browsers closed? And do you know where the cookies are coming from (Browser)? Have you tried clearing the cookies manually from the Internet Options?

well i know there coming from my FireFox and i just did the internet options and that did not seem to get rid of them.

Manually delete those cookies then set your browser so you don't get any tracking cookies. See the following FAQ:
