My web browsers constantly tell me my cookies are not enabled but when i go to check they appear to be on.
Ive tried this with both IE and Mozilla, and both have cookies fully enabled. Is it possible there's a firewall or something i might have blocking it? Currently my anti-virus is CA Security Center.


This is an issue because there are sites i need to login too that require cookies.

Check the privacy settings on your firewall. Many Security Suites have high settings that override the local settings for the browsers.

Problem is not solved. Disabling CA's firewall just to allow cookies is overkill. You have to set CA to allow cookies. Right now your computer is wide open to every internet nasty, and you don't even have the XP firewall, lame as it is, turned on. Click the CA icon in the notification area and find the cookie settings (maybe in a "privacy" option?) and turn your firewall back ON!
