This makes it difficult for anyone to intercept and tamper with messages going between you and columbiafunds.com. If your browser does not have 128-bit encryption, you will not be able to log into the site.

How To Clear My Cache
Your browser saves or "caches" pages that you access frequently. This means it displays the saved version of a page on your computer, and does not upload the updated version of a particular page each time you access it. This allows for quicker download time. However, to ensure that the updated versions of pages are loaded, you may wish to clear your cache periodically by following these steps:
In Internet Explorer, select the Tools or View menu (depending on the version of your browser), then choose Internet Options; at Temporary Internet Files, click Delete Files button.
In Netscape Navigator, select the Edit menu, choose Preferences; expand the Advanced category; select Cache and then press the Clear Disk Cache button.
