If you have increased your privacy level, and wish to keep it this way, you can add your bank’s website as an approved site which will allow you to receive your Authentication Cookie. To do this open Internet Options (see procedures above for your version).

Once Internet Options is open, click on the Privacy Tab and then on the ‘Sites’ button. This is where you will allow your bank to set cookies on your PC.

Internet Explorer 7 and 8

You will want to place an entry next to that cookie, or any other cookie that has secure2.yourbank.com next to it.

Spybot - Search and Destroy

Ad-Aware SE Personal

Spybot does not affect the Ohnward Bancshares Authentication Cookie by default. Its scanning engine does not mark the cookie as tracking by default. You can set Spybot to ignore cookies, and this will help ensure that it will not have problems with the Authentication Cookie.

To have Spybot ignore the Authentication Cookie, you will need to start Spybot and switch to advanced mode. To do this, click on Mode and select Advanced Mode. This will add additional options on the left hand side of the screen. From there you will want to click on Settings, to open the settings for Spybot.

Using the default install and running a full system scan, the Ohnward Bancshares Authentica-tion Cookie was not marked as a tracking cookie. Ad-Aware should not delete the Authentica-tion Cookie; no options were found that would allow for the deletion of Cookies.

You can now close Spybot, and there should be no further problems with Spybot and the Ohnward Bancshares Authentication Cookie.

The Parental Controls Configuration screen will open. On this screen, click on the ‘Advanced’ button to adjust the cookie settings.

Using a default installation, nothing removes the Authentication Cookie. You can set McAfee to allow cookies from our site, to insure that this is not a problem.

On the main McAfee SecurityCenter Screen, select the Parental Controls section, then click on configure.

McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007

On the screen that opens (see below), you will click on ‘Cookies’ on the left side of the screen under Global Parental Controls. This will change the right side to show the cookie settings. On the right side, you will enter secure2.yourbank.com to the box that begins ‘http://’ (see below for an example). After entering our address, click the ‘Add’ button to add it to the list. Once you have finished, you should see secure2.yourbank.com in the box under Accept Cookies. You con now click ‘OK’ to save your changes.

You may now exit McAfee Security Center.

With CCleaner open, click on Options on the left hand side of the screen. This will open the options page. Here you will click on Cookies to add which cookies will not be removed when CCleaner performs a cleaning on the system. The right side of the screen will show ‘Cookies to Delete’ and the ‘Cookies to Keep’. We want to select the secure2.yourbank.com entry under ‘Cookies to Delete’ and move it to ‘Cookies to Keep’. After selecting the secure2.yourbank.com entry, click the ‘>’ button to move it to the ‘Cookies to Keep’ column.

CCleaner

Microsoft Defender

Symantec Internet Security 2007

CCleaner will delete the Ohnward Bancshares Authentication Cookie, until the settings for the program have been modified. Before you can change the settings of CCleaner, you will need to successfully authenticate and authorize your computer. The cookie must be present on your system before you can tell CCleaner not to delete it.

Open CCleaner by right clicking on the ‘Recycle Bin’ and selecting ‘Open CCleaner’. On some systems, this may not be an option, but there should be an alternative to open CCleaner, usually an icon on the desktop. Once open, the screens should be similar or identical.

Still Testing.

Still Testing. Looking at getting it downloaded and tested.

There seems to be no issue with ZoneAlarm and the Ohnward Bancshares Authentication Cookie.

There is no reason to believe that this program affects the Authentication Cookie. There were no settings to prevent cookies from being blocked or deleted. However, a scan could possibly return the Authentication Cookie as being a tracking cookie. If this does happen you must unselect this cookie from being deleted. The cookie will have secure2.yourbank.com in it.
