    I have SpyBlaster which enables protection against Excite.com by disabling their cookies. When protection is enabled against Excite.com, I cannot log in to my Excite.com email account. I have to go into SpyBlaster and disable protection against Excite.com's cookies to be able to go into my Excite.com email account. What I would like to know is: Are there any issues with Excite.com and tracking cookies or anything? :confused:

    When you go to a website that requires a login, the site has to put a cookied on your computer to temporarily store date. Its normal for this to occur.

    To clean out ALL cookies, temp files, temporary internet files, etc;

    Please download & run CCleaner
    (Run the first scan online)

    Okay, but why doesn't SpyBlaster enable protection against Yahoo's site for my Yahoo.com email account? :confused:

    Not real familiar with SpyBlaster, check your internet security settings be sure they are default. Also, go into Internet Properties and select the Privacy Tab and be sure its set on Medium.

    I meant to say SpywareBlaster. My bad. Also, I've tried going to "Internet Options" and "Privacy" and even went to "Sites" and tried to individually allow cookies for Excite.com, but in the end I have to go to SpywareBlaster and disable protection against Excite.com. Also, I still don't understand why I have to do that with Excite.com and not Yahoo.com.

    Not sure, for best results I would recommend posting this in the Software Forum. Those guys will get you fixed up. I would assist you but Im kind of tied up with Malware issues.

    Good Luck!:)
