    I use Safari and I have never had a problem with it but just recently I was sitting here connected to the neighbors internet and I was having trouble doing anything for about 3 minutes and then once the internet started working again I tried to go to my normal websites (Facebook, these forums, other forums, etc..) and it made me type in my user name and password on every one of the sites as if I had reset the cookies or whatever.

    Is their something that can trigger this? Should I be worried about the neighbor or someone else messing with my computer or possibly looking in my cookies or whatever?

    What could cause everything to reset like that?

    Thank you

    I'm not sure why Safari did this but don't worry about someone messing with your cookies unless you have something nasty. Might want to try Firefox if you've never heard of it though.
