Recently I have been getting a pop-up message about Cookies. Whenever I change pages on Genes, the message comes up asking me to OK the fact that the site has cookies. No matter what I do I can't seem to stop this message coming up. I have tried editing the settings to allow the cookies, but I constantly have to hit the "That's fine" button. I have recently installed Trend Micro Internet security and I wonder if that is the problem. Has me beaten at the moment.

I only get the message occasionally on Genes, certainly not all the time. It does seem as though it is your new security programme doing it

Could your new internet security be constantly clearing your history David? I get this on GR, and similar pop-ups on other sites I use, every time I clear history, cache, cookies etc which I do fairly regularly. That makes sense so I wondered if you have some sort of automatic clearing system set up.
