Cookies from the Bankl

[Guest]

Recovering from a bad week involving a virus from MSN ..System restore
problems unresolved, uninstalling all my Norton Products, Acquired McAfee,
lost that temporarily uninstalled. Have MS Anti-Spyware installed, and then
M.S. Baseline Security Analyzer.
Everything was appearing to work smoothly until I went to my online banking,
and the bank & my system tells me that the cookies are not enabled, thus I
cannot sign on. This could be possibly to do with all the re-setting I did
after running the MS Security Analyzer. However, I think that the McAfee set
up has now also locked my Home Page url, and I cannot change it. And changing
the settings on the cookies, seem to have no affect on my Banks' url.

Any suggestions, will be most welcome.
