My cookies are disappearing and I have to log in to sites that should be logging me in automatically.
This just started appening about 2 weeks ago and is happening about every 2 or so days.
Also, I had my Temp Internet File size set to 10MB. It somehow got set to 2026MB. I reset it to 10MB and today it is at 2MB.
I ran adaware, spybot search & destroy, and Norton's AV. That was no help.

It's a long shot but check your system date and make sure it isn't set to the wrong year. Cookies all have an expiration date and if you are set to 1980 or 2010 for some reason that could be why they've timed out.
When you say they are disappearing have you actually checked the directory and the files are gone? I know Ad aware and some of the other spyware software will remove cookies.

It is due to that big ass picture you used to have in your sig line. :rolleyes:

I didn't look to see if they are actually gone. It just acts as though they are.
My date is correct.
I am running 2 X 36GB Raptors in RAID 0 and have 31.9GB of free space.
That big pic in my sig can come back. ;)

You sure the adaware, spybot and norton aren't clearing your cookies every time you run them?
Check their settings and the automated tasks (i.e. scanning for crap once per week, in relation to when you installed the programs).
BTW
AVG is a kick ass virus and EMAIL virus program to have, and free. :)

Thanks, I'll check that.
I run AVG on my laptop. For some reason, Norton's won't run on it.
