Subject: Blocked Cookie


  Posted by: Ref - [53314150] Fri, Apr 15, 2005, 02:17

I was getting so much spyware, I finally changed my privacy settings to prompt. However, I inadvertently blocked my yahoo mail and even though I've deleted all of my cookies and accepted all cookies, it still has my email as blocked and I can't figure out how to get on it--this goes for all yahoo sites. Please assist as I'm about to have to pull out my backup computer.

What browser software are you using, Ref?

Don't know much about IE and cookies, but it looks like

Tools>Internet Options>Privacy>Edit

Then either remove yahoo from excluded, or add it to allowed might do the trick.

Now if you used firefox...

ok, had to go to sites and then opened that and you can double click them and then allow. Thanks for your help. Think it may be esaier to run pest patrol nightly to clear out the spyware. It gets so bad that my dropdown boxes won't work until I clear them out.
