In Internet Options, whenever I change my privacy setings and then go onto the internet, the privacy settings default back to "Accept all cookies". Then I get bomblasted with all sorts of trash. Seems as tho the options for privacy have been hijacked by some spyware? Need some help. Thanks, Gene

Yes I am refering to Windows Exployer Browser. I have used the overide or just tried to change from Medium to Medium High protection. Yes I always check the OK button, but it continues to default to Accept all cookies. Thanks, Gene

i don't know where the option is for 'accept all cookies', cause i only have first and third party cookies. if your 'always allow session cookies' box is checked, uncheck it, and if it persists, then uncheck 'override automatic cookie handling'. you can handle the cookies from the privacy level (medium, medium-high, etc.).
