My computer keeps deleting all cookies. Anyone got any ideas? Any virus's around that cause this?

Some Firewalls, anti-virus and anti-spyware programs like to automatically delete cookies as well so you may need to check them.

Pwig the only thing I can think of is to check the settings in Tools.....Internet Options.......Privacy.

Also some anti-spyware programs might be able to be set to erase cookies...I know that the Microsoft antispyware beta that is out can delete them manually.

I tried a Google search for viruses/spyware that might be causing your problem and came up blank.

Privacy settings are set to middle. So that shouldn't cause a problem. hmmm...
