Hi,
My mum is having a problem with facebook and barclays banking. She ticks the box to say 'remember my details' each time she logs in but it doesn't remember them.
I've had a brief look. Cookies is the obvious and I've enabled them. But no difference. They have the Virgin Media PC Guard running. I couldn't spot anything, but I don't know it to the nth degree.
Any ideas anyone?

I would not tick the option to 'save details' when it comes to online banking, IMO

PC Guard is absolutely awful as security software
I would suggest replacing with a decent firewall and Anti Virus software
(In fact it was a firewall that I found was stopping my computer from remembering sites too)
Still, I agree with free, its NOT a good idea to remember bank details etc
Main reason? If your computer dies and you send it to be repaired, then the repairer will have access to ALL saved passwords!:idea:0 -
Even credit card holders?0

They (banking sites) never save all the details needed to login. Some just username/id and others allow a shorter login (eg a full password together with some other item).
I have found having the ID saved when it is a random number is helpful as my passwords and other items are changed fairly often.0
