I've come here in desperation. Lol. This just seems beyond odd to me.

So there's a forum community I am a big part of, and I've always had problems with that forum not keeping me logged in using, both on FF on PC and Safari on Mac.

Recently, they've updated the site and now I have trouble logging in full stop. The log in page just refreshes over and over. If I clear cookies, it lets me log in, but will log me out at random. This only occurs on Safari on Mac. (Not tried other browsers on the Mac, but Firefox on the PC only has the above issue).

Out of curiosity, I turned on the "cookie filter" on my Integro VirusBarrier X6. This fixed the logging in issue on that particular forum, but it CAUSES the problem on Facebook and Twitter...

WTF?

Any explanation, help, etc much appreciated.
