Re: Window requesting Username and Password

[x-post to IE General]

Are any of these sites in your Favorites, Tony?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running
in the background when you installed IE8?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?

(1) Both sites are in my Favorites folder.

(2) Using Kaspersky; current.

(3) Using SUPERAntiSpyware; current.

(4) Using no software Firewall; router has hardware Firewall.

(5) Kaspersky and SUPERAntiSpyware were (likely) running when IE8 installed.

(6) No Norton or McAffee software have ever been on the two computers I own
that are showing this issue.

IE Tools | Internet Options | General | Browsing History | Delete | Preserve
Favorites website data <=uncheck this option (temporarily) then press the
DELETE button for Form Data in the same applet.

Note that the real-time "system protections" afforded by the Kaspersky
application and SAS may be disallowing these changes. Note, too, that
failing to disable these same real-time protections prior to installing IE8
could be responsible for this and any other problems you've encountered.
YMMV, of course.
