Delete cookie to keep from getting a virus???? My Norton does that for me, and I can keep my cookies. Man as much as I use my computer, I would be busy deleteing all the time.

re: PM notifications

I have sent PM's before that were never read! If someone agrees to receive PM's, I think that the e-mail notification should be turned on by default. If someone doesn't want e-mail notification, let them turn it off. That flashing envelope doesn't work for someone who isn't looking for it. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

On the same subject, I read where Microsoft is studying the idea of doing operating system fixes automatically, instead of relying on the user to opt in. Sounds like a good idea for all of those worm-infested users out there. If you are intelligent enough to understand how the update system works, and want to control it yourself, then opt out. For the rest of the masses, how about just letting Big Brother take care of you? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Enough of my rant. I also get peeved by people bringing up the same old subjects time and again. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Dave,

I sent you a PM (my apologies to everyone who is peeved by this redundant and very public notification), and you should now have a flashing envelope next to the Main Index link near the top of the page.

It looks like this.

Actually deleting the cookies doesn't prevent any viruses (viri?) - that's more for privacy protection. I do it via a DOS batch file that I run that deletes all cookies from the subdirectory as well as all TMP files and any extensions off of the TEMP subdirectory.

You should take a look in your cookie subdirectory sometime if you never have; it's surprising how many cookies can get in there without your knowledge.

Now I'm peeved I didnt see it sooner ! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif LOL, Dave

It took 2 attempts to correctly time hitting Alt-Print Screen in order to 'catch' the envelope! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
