Carey,
I have a cable modem that has 3 computers networked on it. On two of the computers, I loaded CookieCop 2. Over a period of time, certain web sites became unavailable to the computers that have CookieCop2 on them. The first was fool.com, followed by the financial section of yahoo, and then amazon.com.
Here recently, I haven’t been able to get onto ccbonline.com. The 3rd machine has never had CookieCop loaded on to it, so I can go to any of the above sites (this eliminated the router as a potential problem). I have removed CookieCop on one machine but it did not correct the problem. It still loads on machine 2 and it still will not connect Also I never set CookieCop up to block any of these sites. It appears there is a file or something on machine 1 and 2 that is keeping them from accessing these web sites.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Marvin
Hi Marvin!
Check your Security and your Privacy settings located in the Control Panel, under Internet Options. Make sure to set all options to DEFAULT LEVEL and click APPLY. In the Privacy section, click the ADVANCED button and see if “Override automatic cookie handling” is checked. If it is, uncheck it and click APPLY.
Also, click the Advanced Tab at the top of the window, and click Restore Defaults then click OK.
Finally click OK one last time to close the window.
I hope this helps resolve the problem.
