hi, i'm new and very desperate . for some odd reason, my computer has altered the security settings, and i can't get onto any secure sites, e.g. hotmail, gmail, msn messenger, bank statements, etc. i have tried going to the properties and changing it back, but so far nothing has happened!!! i was hoping to get some advice! thanks!

Hi Meg3 and welcome to G2G

Try going to Control Panel > Internet Options > Privacy and set the slider to accept all cookies ( slide down to bottom)

If this works put it up a notch - see if it works on this setting.

If this fails - try ... > Privacy ....Advanced put a check in "Override Auto cookie handling" check "allow 1st and 3rd party cookies" and check Always allow session cookies.

NOOOO

Don't accept ALL cookies

Put it to medium, that's the default setting, and I never have any problems with it.

You might try deleting all your current cookies and temporary internet files. In Internet Explorer, click on "Tools", then on "Internet Options". Under the General tab, click on the "Delete Cookies" button, then on the "Delete Files" button. Then try your secure sites again.

Tell me, what antivirus/antispyware programs are you running?

One of them might be causing this.
