For at least two years I have had 2 Yahoo email addresses, one for personal email, the other for all the rest. I sign into one, then use ATF Cleaner to remove cookies, then sign into the other one. It has never been a problem, I could have both accounts activated and check both accounts from the same computer.
This morning I could not do this. Yahoo lets me sign into one account, and even if I use ATF before the next time I bring up a new IE, it says Hi tofu5. Have they changed or have I done something wrong? To sign in then sign out can be a bit time consuming, as we are not on dsl.

No need for a response. I decided to scan my computer with SuperAntiSpyware, they found 15 threats, all tracking cookies, mainly from a flashplayer. We deleted all of them, then rebooted and now I can sign into both Yahoo accounts at the same time. I thought when I used ATF Cleaner it got rid of all tracking cookies but I guess not.

Well, the computer is doing it again. Even after using ATF Cleaner more than once and cleaning cookies, I can only sign into one Yahoo email account. Wonder what is going on?
I finished another SuperAntiSpyware scan, and came up with two tracking cookies, and I used ATF Cleaner before the scan. Wonder why ATF is not removing those cookies? I could access both Yahoo accounts after I removed both cookies.
