I like CCleaner and was disappointed that it appeared to be incompatible
with IE8 in that it would not retain wanted cookies (sign
in/username/preferences etc.).
The advice in the CC (Piriform) forum was to untick/uncheck the
Index.dat files box under the Windows tab (Internet Explorer).
I first moved all cookies from the "Cookies to keep" column to the
"Cookies to delete" column and ran CC clean up . Unticked Index.dat
files. I then revisited the sites that I wanted to retain information on
(remember me, save log in etc.) and then moved the cookies to CCleaner's
"Cookies to keep" column. Job done.
Regarding Spybot S&D, don't use the immunisation feature (i.e. click the
"undo" button). IE8 now has inbuilt protection for a number of sites and
loading Spybot's database slows everything down.
I run SpywareBlaster, including enabling the Restricted Sites option.

Some have reported that on slower machines, enabling Restricted Sites
also causes problems but I find it doesn't make much difference. If it
does on your machine, disable it and just use IE/Firefox ActiveX and
Cookie protection.
If you do use the Restricted Sites option, you will notice that Spybot
also reports these files as protected if you click "Immunisation".
