Hi,

I had a similar problem when my internet cookies setting went to accept all
cookies all by it self repeatedly. i had TROJAN VUNDOs in many forms. Look at
the thread Ali Harris wrote on IE& cookie settings changing to accept all
cookie 12th oct 2008.

I wrote on it, and describe what I did to clear those nasties. (Note use
registry clearners with caution)

Sounds like you have trojan infestation like I did. Dont loose hope, clear
them.

Hope that post helps
