welcome to D-A-L

to expidite the reading of logs Please follow all of Owen's instructions HERE once you have completed that post your log on the Spyware, Adware and Viruses board.

i see a few unwanted things in there but Owen is the Master Reader over in the Spyware Section.

Thanks Jephree - so you think that the cookie problem may be related to spyware or adware?

it's quite possible. it would be best to straighten that out first & see if the problem persists.

have you checked your settings under sygate?

not sure what you mean or how to check this under sygate

Jephree you are a great help

i can see from you log that you are running sygate firewall.

i am not familiar with it in particular but you should be able to right click its' icon down on the task bar by the clock.

there should be some selection such as configure or settings or somesuch.

there should be some setting for how cookies are handled or blocked.

also: are you running the sp2 firewall? there are also settings there but if you are running sygate I would suggest turning off the sp2 firewall so as they dont conflict.

btw: did this problem just start happening? if yes; did you change any settings anywhere?
