Yahoo-login-cookies are rejected

[Guest]

I use Windows XP SP2 and McAfee Anti virus. I have been attempting to login
into Yahoo but keep getting an error message saying Cookies Rejected. I have
changed my internet options to allow cookies, turned off the firewall and
still get the same message. I have also added Yahoo.com, mail.yahoo.com and
login.yahoo.com to my secured sites with cookies allowed and still can't log
in to yahoo. However, I can get to my yahoo email messages by using Outlook.
Is my browser (Internet Explorer) corrupt? If so, how do I fix this with
Windows XP? I am able to go to some websites using the browser but no all.
I will get the error message "Forbidden" at times when trying to access
different web pages. Also I have been geting popups from a site called
"Aurora". I believe it is tied somehow to Revenue.net. I currently run
Adaware, SWBell Spyware tool and have even used Microsoft Spyware Beta but
cant seem to get rid of the Aurora pop ups. HELP!!!!!!!

Or, do you have another program (privacy, security, ad-blocker,etc.) set to
block cookies? Take a look at programs that run in the background and might
be blocking cookies.

Cookies or Cache folder corrupted -

If one folder is corrupt the chances are the other is or will be. So export
your cookies, and nuke both folders.

Hope this helps
