C Cleaner blocking secure logins

[GarethD]

After recently running CCleaner I can no longer login to sites such as Hotmail, Facebook, Yahoo Mail etc. Also some websites, such as accomaodation sites, wont allow me to view their booking screens. There must be something common to the types of sites that I can not access.

 

I think that, in my naieviety, I have allowed CCleaner to change something on the compluter that now means that I can not access these sites. Does anyone have any idea what it might be and if so how to fix it?

 

One friend has said it is to do with Firewall settings. This happened once before after runnign CCleaner and said friend was able to fix the issue but this time can't remember exactly what they did. I'm running Windows XP. if that is important.

 

Cheers

Hi Gareth,

First thing to do is turn off Adobe/Macromedia Flash Player on the Cleaner > Applications tab. This is the most likely culprit.

Briefly, "Flash Cookies" are becoming more and more common since the data they contain is encrypted.

These are stored by Adobe/Macromedia Flash Player.

You can do a "search" for "Macromedia" or "flask cookies" on the forums for more info.

Cheers,

P.S. You will have to reactivate or renew (whatever they call it) so their computer will store this information again on your PC.

Look here and you will find folders that contain all these .SOL files. Yes, even some men's favorite sites are storing things there. Sorry guys you are going to have Include these in your CCleaning Options > Include or some very explicit .com names are going to be in your PC. Or vice-versa you clean it all and Exclude the ones you want to keep.
