Not that I recall from last night. I did some online gaming, went to bed, got up this morning and noticed the results were no longer showing.

I'm going to setup Ad-Aware to not run automatically when I reboot. I don't recall rebooting in the interim, but, I'll do that just in case it was that.

I'm now running Ad-aware on a windows box at work and it hasn't altered the cookie.

BTW, the cookie is now being stored slightly differently incase anyone comes here by http://driverheaven.net instead of http://www.hardwareheaven.com

Well, I NEVER select the Delete Cookies....except in extreme situations where a lot of other things are going wrong. I have selected the Delete Offline Content a few times. But, since I don't use that option much, I rarely ever select that, either.

So far today, the Vote Results is still showing for me.

Two Days So Far.....
Without AD Aware set to run when I reboot.

AND, the Poll results are still showing. I've even cleared my Internet cached once.

Right, I don't clear the cookies at all. Can't even remember the last time I selected that option.

Try not running ad-aware for a few weeks - we normally change polls on Mondays.

If this (in)famous problem goes away then it's a problem with Ad-Aware and not us

Since disabling Ad-Aware from automatically starting on reboot, I've had no instance of being able to vote again. I have even run the app and deleted the files it finds manually.

So, the culprit does seem to be Ad-Aware, but only when it starts on reboot.

It's not that it deletes all cookies. For instance, those that allow me to auto logon to the forums aren't affected.

I have changed how the cookie is stored - which may help.

Also, every time I ran Ad-Aware (latest as of Thursday last weel) on my Windows PC @ work it didn't delete it once.

I'm going to go ahead and reset Ad-Aware to run on Windows start again. I'll let you know what happens.
