not able to log in

I'm using another computer to make this thread because on my own computer I can't login anymore.

I get an error saying that cookies must be enable.
After checking and double checking: cookies are enabled and I don't know what I can do more then that.
I was able to log in just two hours ago and now suddenly I can't anymore. I never changed anything in my settings and didnt had a windows or explorer update.
I'm using winxp and IE

also, I tried to mail ats about it on two email adresses:
[email protected] and [email protected]
They both came back as undeliverable mail.

then I tried the contact form on the website and I got the same error about the cookies.

anyone knows how I can fix this?

Try clearing your browsers cache and history, restarting your browser and try to log in again.

Also, do you run any personal firewall software? or Anti-spyware software? It could have possibly disabled/prevented cookies from ATS being stored on your PC which would certainly affect functionality.

my cache and history are auto cleared every time I close my browser.

I'm checking my comp with malaware bites as we speak, might take a while but I try what you suggested after that.

I only have pop up and ad watch. win firewall is disabled.
On all those ats is marked as a safe site.

I'm back on my own computer...

I had malware called "pop-fun web products".
the page that showed me the cookie error had their logo in the toolbar so it was a site-redirect it seems.

all cleared now and login works fine

Good to hear GypsK

Make sure you run ad/mal-aware scans every week, some craft little bits of code out there.

Glad your sorted.
