Internet Explorer 8 deleting cookies

[lapta]

Tried to google my porblem but just get guides on how to delete cookies, which i know how to do.

My problem is IE8 keeps deleting my cookies. It's random when it happens, sometime its midnight every 4th day, and sometime like today its deleting them everytime i close the browers.

I have no programs that are related to cookies, and this dont happen on my other browers.

Any help with my problem would be great. Thanks.

sure uv googled it ect, seems like many ppl have the same issue

"I *think* I may have found a solution, but I doubt it could be so easy.

Under the Tools menu, Internet Options, I selected "Privacy" and then *deselected* "Allow session cookies". I can still do "sessions" (i.e. order from online stores, etc.), but after several reboots, I have not had a single instance of deleted cookies.

Yet.

I hope this may be the solution... but again, it seems too simple!

Good luck,

Mike"

"Hi again

The problem has finally gone away. How did I do it... ?
Well, been reading for weeks around the net, to try and solve the problem, tried a lot, nothing helped...
then I found a page saying this problem might be because of some tracking-cookies, add-cookies or so, that
are malformed or even can make ie delete other cookies.
So I fired up f-secure online scanner Free Online Scanner - Online Virus Scanner | F-Secure
and it found 20 or so 'hostile' cookies. I let f-secure delete them, and after this the problem is gone.
Now I have forced my AVG antivirus installation to scan for trackingcookies and autodelete them.

Donno if this is a real solution, but suddenly after months with this problem, its solved for me.
