Is the feature that allows permanent log in still available?
If it is I can't find it.

Do you wash your computer when you are finished for the day? Washing could be your problem.

For the sake of privacy I have two programmes that wash my computer to make finding what I do on the net difficult for anyone but a whiz bang nerd or a forensic computer. (This I believe)

One is Ultra Win Cleaner and the other is Webroot Window Washer. Window Washer removes all usernames and passwords, so I have to log in every time. Win Cleaner does not and I'm permanently logged in to everything.

Banking and personal detials I can understand, but why would a hacker feel the need to steal your AVD details.
I have no money.....no life other than VW's....but I still have my dignity.......Hack that!!!:smilegrin:

Ok no info is ever deleted permently, it's still there to find, if u want.:punk:
But for the average user they serve there purpose.
Web Eraser will do the real thing. Military standard shred and re-shred; makes it a little harder to find anyway.

Want it really gone, wipe a magnet over your HDD. It will exist no longer there will be "nothing".....
Just a blank space where your OS used to be.

note: not a suggestion to be applied to real life situations.

the guy doesnt want to erase, he wants to stay logged in!

You can turn it on with your browser to promp to remember passwords.
In mozilla firefox go to tools, options, click the privacy icon, the passwords tab, then tick the box remember passwords.

In Internet Explorer, go tools, internet options, content tab, click AutoComplete and check the appropriate boxes.

Other browsers... I dunno.

Hi

I use Firefox and the only time I don't have permanent login is when I reformat the computer, but this is optional. You may have noticed that my spelling has improved, Firefox has an add-on spell checker.

My thoughts exactly, I also have no idea what "washing' my computer is. Last I heard water and 240 volts were not compatable.
My problem is with this site only, the other places I go to remember me without difficulty. I am sure there was a box I ticked that said "remember me" or something similar, but I can't find it here any where.
