Re: Help Needed Urgently Please

What pop up blocker do you have?

Have you run your anti virus? You could be infected.

Also you haven't signed into windows messenger have you as that sometimes sends pop ups.

Try running your spyware as well.

What browser are you using - sounds like Internet Explorer.

Internet Explorer is a virus. Try downloading Firefox from here Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable | Mozilla Europe

Go to the Firefox homepage where you can download an add on which imports your favourites from Internet Explorer

It should have imported them automatically unless you unclicked that option. Have you checked bookmarks?

Just did it myself and my faves are there.

I prefer opera ( Opera Browser | Faster & safer Internet | Free Download )

you could try this, during the setup it imports your IE stuff.

Firefox is good, its all about tryinga few and seeing what works with your 'head'

IE is not good IMHO, Kipax will be along shortly quoting some out of date stats.............
