Hi: I have a PC with Windows XP as my OS. I am unable to stay logged in to commonly used websites (i.e., Facebook, Netflix, Google mail, etc.). Rebooting my PC appears to delete any saved log-ins. In addition, I am unable to retain a history of visited URLs in my URL window. I have checked my settings in Internet Options and everything seems to be set properly. This problem began occuring after having removed some malware from my system (see the thread at: http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f50/hijacked-browser-683440.html). After validating that no malware was the source of my problem, it was suggested I visit this site for help and suggestions.

Thanks in advance for anything you can do for me!

You didn't mention what browser you are using? In IE, go to Tools/Internet Options/Browsing History/Delete. Put a check in the Box Preserve Favorites website data then click cancel. Now go to the Advanced Tab and Uncheck Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser page is closed.

Well, a day later, I would like to mark this thread solved, but I am still having problems. URLs I directly type into my IE8 browser window do not stay there once I turn off the computer. Also, some sites (such as this one and Google mail) retain my log-in information, but other sites (such as Facebook and Netflix) do not. I have made sure I checked the "keep me logged in" box (or similar check box) whenever I have logged into these sites.

Any ideas?
