Re: Cookies with XP and McAfee

The program can't meet your needs if it's operations remove content you
want to keep. McAfee has "ALWAYS" done things it's not asked to do.

Are you sure you've checked McAfee's options/settings to not process
Cookies ? That would seem to be a configurable setting. You might be
able to preserve Cookies by using the browser security settings to add
the site in question to your "Trusted" Zone.

Just because it's provided free by your ISP is no reason to endure these
kinds of issue(s). One guaranteed solution for any application problem is
Uninstalling it. You can get alternative solutions ( and free of cost )
that
you can just install & use and not have to "Twiddle" with to get working.

I've stopped tracking/investigating new releases from both McAfee and
Symantec and just placed them both in the "Don't Bother" category.

I have been unable to get any help at all on McAfee so I am asking here,
just in case someone might be able to help.

I have the McAfee Security Center that is provided free by my ISP (the ISP
is no help either). The security center is fine for my needs -- it
doesn't slow me down in any way and keeps me cleaned up -- too well, it
seems..... It deletes cookies without giving me a chance to choose any.
My problem is that every time I run a virus scan, it removes my TV
listings and I would dearly love not to have to recreate them each week.

I've tried saving the cookie to my removable hard drive that isn't
scanned, but that doesn't work. There's obviously something I don't get
about this and I'd appreciate any ideas any one has.

Liz
