I use Google, and my YouTube login is stored by Google. I keep the browser loaded all the time, since that's the browser I use. So, if something takes me to YouTube, Google logs me in there. I don't care. Nothing is risked by me at YouTube, so i don't worry about it.

So, your browser could be the culprit. You're logging into DU, so you're using your browser to do that. If it were Google, and you allowed Google to store your YouTube login, it would be an automatic thing. But, if you're not using Google or you don't allow it to store your Login, you might get what you're seeing now.

Bottom line is that if this behavior you're seeing just started, it probably is related to something else you've done recently. Think about that and you might be able to figure it out.

Have you changed your malware software? What has changed? You can solve your problem, but nobody else can unless you give them the information needed to figure out what is going on. Don't need YouTube? Then it's not a problem.

My point is that asking questions like that without providing any other information is not going to get you a solution. Too many variables.
