PC Security

[Roderunner]

Hi Folks,
I visit this Forum & 2 others a few times daily.
I normally don't have to log-in.
I did my last visit 7 hours ago, when finished, my Laptop was shutdown.
On my visit 7 hours later, I had to log-in to all 3 Forums.
-
To my knowledge, NO updates were made, and I never did any maintainence.
-
My browser is FF, it is not programmed to clear anything when closed & have'nt used CCleaner.
I believe my security is very good. So what has caused this to happen.

Hi George,

perhaps your cache has been flushed, happens to me from time to time, but, generally only on secure sites. Other than a guess, I can't really offer anything else. Maybe another loungers has other ideas.

Hi Claude,
If it was the cache that was flushed, it was not initiated by me.

I had this problem a while ago with Internet Explorer - although I had set it to preserve cookies, it would randomly delete some of them on exit, so that I had to log in again the next time. It never happened to me for Eileen's Lounge, though. I never found the cause or a solution, but the problem finally went away after an update to IE.

I think I've found the cause.

I have this happen to me "every so often" on Firefox (the only browser I use).
I have no idea why it happens, but it is a useful memory-jogger that you need to have all these passwords (securely) available...

Hi John,
I have my passwords etc. on notepad which is 7Zipped & password protected. All saved in multiple locations.

Sorry, George. I don't see what you believe to be the cause of your problem. The only differences between your settings and mine is that I override automatic cache management and limit cache to 30 MB.

It looks to me, that FF has 'Automatic Cache Management'.

I have the exact same settings on my FX. Not set to override and cache limit is 350mb .( I think that's the default ) When I just now looked, I was only using 58mb of content cache.

I was under the impression, the older entrys were cleared as newer ones were added, or is that cookies?
