Am using Windows XP sp3 and IE8
Seemingly, there is an unwanted schedule cleaning of personal log-in
information, cookies and Temporary Internet Files occurring in the IE8
browser on my computer.
Every 3 weeks (possibly 4 but I'm not sure since no record keeping to
verify) all my personal log-in information and cookies are being
automatically deleted. Consequently, every 3 or 4 (??/) weeks I am having
to re-enter all my log-in information for frequently visited sites such as
member forums, banking, government, time-and-date.
Are there any settings which by default, or due to recent Microsoft Updates,
allow Windows / IE8 to do this unwanted cleaning on a scheduled basis?
I have configured IE8 to not delete the Temporary Internet Files when
shutting down (see Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab.)
I have no 3rd party Registry or Disk cleaners to contend with.
I use McAfee AntiVirus Plus as a resident virus, trojan and malware scanner.
It is scheduled to scan my system twice a week for such baddies. It has a
QuickClean tool that can be manually operated to effect cleaning but it does
not appear that it can be configured to automatically run on a predetermined
basis.
I also use the free, manual version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) to
scan my entire disk on a weekly basis.
