I'm sorry I don't know what you could do but...........bump

I think you have spybots or something like that.

You need to run your antivirus

Then you need to download something like ad-aware (google free ad-aware) and run that and then you need to do the smae wioth spybot. Download the 2 above, make sure your antivirus is up to date and then run them. Personally I'd run them a couple of times to make sure you're clean.

If you don'5t hae an anti virus then go find a free copy of AVG anti virus and download and then run that

did't see that you have avg anyway.

They do sound like spybots so I would get Spybot searcha nd destroy and also adaware and run both of these progs

dh is a computer geek and I only know cos I've seen so many infected pc's. The spybot's attach themselves to words so when you click on that word it opens a link to another site.

I personally run those three progs every week or so- but do rememebr to update them regularly.

Glad to help xx
