That infection is said to specifically target saved browser login and

I would not download a third party application to resolve an issue
that should be working in the first place, unless that makes sense to
you.

What is the browser that exhibits this problem?

I would run MBAM again and then SAS:

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware
detection programs:

Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

These can be uninstalled later if desired.

The fact that some work and some don't means something is still not
right.

You may have to accept the unpleasant fact that all of your user/
password information has been compromised and then use the tools built
in to your unspecified browser to clear all temporary browser
information including all usernames and passwords (in your best
interest). Then the user names and passwords will all have to be
entered and remembered by the browser again.

That is what that malware targets and you know it was on your system.

Or you can download the third party application and never know for
sure.

Painful at first, but it will catch up eventually.

Thanks Jose,
I'm not too keen either, at paying good money for an add on program to do
what my machine should already do.
I'm using IE7 - fully patched.
That malware *Super.Banker* arrived unbeknownst to AVG free. Subsequent
scans
by AVG free and MBAM do not reveal any problems.
I installed and gave SAS a whirl and it detected 1550 tracking cookies, but
nothing more serious.

Is there a way to find out which of my user names and passwords have been
retained by XP? or IE?
I'm thinking it may not be necessary to change those passwords when
"Remembering" and "Log me in Automatically" is not an option.

I'm still interested in a "fix" to get "Remember Me" and "Log me in
automatically" working again.
Thanks again, Jim
