Usually only happens to me after I have run Spybot and ad-aware,which removes cookies etc. Do you run this type of programme regularly

I find that happens to me when my hubby has been on another site when I am at work.

It also happens when you delete temporary internet files or cookies, like when you clean up your browsing history.

Hi pauln -cruella,
thanks for your answers, i dont run spybot or adware.
can not think that i have done anything different, but of
course i must have otherwise i would not encounter this
problem. thanks again Andy.

Hi weeal,
i have recently deleted cookies & used clean up.
so i will check that thanks Andy.

Somehow your cookie from AB is being deleted.

Maybe someone is going into your browser and deleting your cookies

Also there is a setting in your browser to say delete cookies after each session, may be that option is set.

[weeal]

Its the cookies etc that hold all the data to put you back into the correct page again (eg. signed in) it acts like a shortcut, its a good idea to delete these tho in case of hackers I suppose and some hold nasties!. I delete every coupla days.

Also it can be affected if you have an antivirus running or if you have blocked cookies or use norton or ghost surf etc.

[peanut]

Have you set C Cleaner to keep the cookie from answerbank?

[timeout1]

No peanut,

so i am a bit of a technophob, my brother is coming to
visit tomorrow, he says he will have a look at the problem for me, thanks for taking the time to answer my post,
Andy
