My credit union uses a cookie to allow me to pay my bills without having to answer a security question. Norton seems to erase it. Where do I go in the Security Suite to create an exception so that I don't have to go through this rigamarole every time I want to pay a bill? Thanks.
Hi pdx_photoman,
What browser are you using, and how do you have the cookie settings configured in the browser's privacy options?

I'm not sure why you are giving two different links to get CCleaner when disk and registry tools are in the same product CCleaner.
The above link does not take you to a page with CCleaner on it.
Thank you for the quick response. I already have CC Cleaner and am not using it because I have Norton. :-)
I will make the settings as you suggested.
Regards.
Hi huwyngr
The link you are asking about is for mzbackup and not c cleaner.
I’ve done some investigation and found that c cleaner does not provide a back up of the registry like mzbackup it just saves the data its removing from the registry then it allows you to put it back in. When I first tried it and saw the size of the file I thought that’s to small for a registry back up, it’s not working correctly. I didn’t know about regedit being on the system so found mzbackup but what I don’t understand is that regedit has a file size of around 350mb for my registry and takes about 45 seconds and mzbackup has a file size of about 30mb and takes about 3 minutes which I felt a little dubious about the size and speed of regedit. Thank you for your persistence I will change the information to suit.

The topic is how to exclude a cookie from being removed. Registry cleaning is not really relevant to the issue at hand, so I'm not sure how that even came up. Norton should not be removing anything except third-party cookies. If, for some reason the cookie in question is being removed by Norton, rather than the browser, then the best solution would be to disable the cookie scan and configure the browser's privacy settings to allow this particular cookie (and other necessary cookies) while blocking or clearing all others. We don't know yet what browser is being used, or how cookie handling is currently configured. Cookie management is much simpler than many people realize, and does not require third-party software (although SpywareBlaster is useful for doing the work of populating the browser's block list with sites that should never be allowed to set cookies).
The browser is Chrome.
In general, the best way to manage cookies is to set the browser to: 1) allow all cookies except third-party (tracking) cookies, and 2) remove all cookies when you close the browser. You then need to specify exceptions for sites that you want to allow to maintain persistent cookies, such as for sites that require them to log you in - these exceptions will not be removed when you close the browser.. Doing it this way allows session and other cookies to be used during your browsing, but removes them as soon as you exit the browser, and preserves cookies you need to log into your bank site, etc. You may also want to explicitly block sites that are known to use tracking cookies from ever being able to set cookies in your browser - for this, the free SpywareBlaster program is a great tool.
