Trend Micro simply identified a tracking cookie (Yahoo 360 cookie).
Tracking cookies are small files that web sites use to track where you go on the internet. They're generally harmless, but you should still probably rid yourself of them regularly if you're concerned about the privacy issue.
In Yahoo's case, these tracking cookies are most commonly used to present you with targeted advertisements (based on your browsing history) when using the service. (All this is buried in the privacy policy you agreed to....somewhere....)
There are many different solutions for disallowing specific cookies & cookie types based on user set criteria. On of the easiest solutions for a beginner would be Winpatrol;

In addition to cookie filters, this small freeware program features several other extremely useful utilities.
