So I got Norton 360 for antivirus recently. It's quite annoying with all of its scans, but I don't really mind since my new laptop can handle the processing power that it saps away. What I do mind is the removal of "tracking cookies" that it loves to do. This isn't so bad, since I don't want cookies tracking me anyways...who would want yummy crumbles tracking you down forcing you to eat it...seriously.

So anyways, back to the main point: Norton clears my cookies, which means I can't do "remember me" for login sites such as the CoT forums. So, I gotta freaking login everytime I close down my browser. Would anyone know how to prevent Norton 360 from killing certain specific cookies, and not all cookies?

(down with Norton and their cookie haters)

It's called norton sucks. Use AVG. doesn't auto delete cookies, allowing you to delete specific ones only. Unless they've updates Norton since the last time I tried 360, there is no way to disable teh auto delete of cookies.

There is an advanced mode in Norton 360 that doesn't auto delete cookies. However, if I set it to this advanced mode, it asks about every single little connection slipping in and out. Like for one website, Norton would ask me about 10 different exceptions. So the advanced mode is also frustrating.
