The Tech Republic Log-In page has a box stating "remember my adress and password for log-in". For some reason the memory part is defective since it always asks for the info even if the box has been checked. What is the purpose of the box if it does not function?

I believe the "critical" cookie for TR is www.com.com

If you are using some full featured anti-virus or anti-spy-ware programs such as Panda Platinum, com.com may be on a list of restricted sites and your protection suite continually removes the cookie.

Thanks Mcheema and TheChas for Ur posts. I tried everything U suggested and then discovered the most important but always overlooked statement. On the Log-Out page it is written "if U Log-Out from our site our cookies will be deleted, so it is best to continue browsing or don't fully Log-Out". Sometimes the easiest thing for me is the most difficult (Read all the material). Have a nice Holiday One and All. trulfe-24Poster rated this answer.
