My computer seems to be "forgetting" some settings every time I restart it. I'm running only nod32 and zone alarm pro right now, in an effort to determine what is cleaning my cookies every time I restart. It seems to also reset some settings such as folder viewing options (although not all of them). Is it resetting things that I have changed recently? Anybody heard of such issues from nod32 or zonealarm pro? I know nod has an antispyware component as well as an antivirus component...

I'm at wits end. I just finished a clean install to rid myself of these types of gremlins, and they just wont go away! Is there some sort of setting I should change? I'm running ie8.

Help!
 
Vista used to 'forget' my folder options. I have since removed it on the machine I was running it on and put on ESXi so I'm a bit out of the loop as far as that's concerned. Never knew if they fixed that. Are you using Vista?
 
I remember reading something about Vista not saving folder options too. If you are using Vista, do you have any of the service packs installed?

As for the cookies I would think it has to be some setting in IE8. Have you tried running Firefox?
 
In addition to folder options mine also frequently changes my ask for password on wakeup settings
