How do I stop dd's computer constantly opening new internet screens??

[notsofarnow]

About casinos, bingo, competions and some are blank boxes.

Why has this suddenly started happening and what can I do to stop it?

Well, I'm no expert notsofarnow, but I did have this problem once. Do you use internet explorer? It basically means some little toerag has put cookies/ a virus on your machine. I tried and tried to stop but was unsuccessful. They're really hard to find and wipe off.

In the end I downloaded 'mozillafirefox' to use as a web browser. Haven't has any problems since- they don't seem to have the same problem with pop ups as IE.

HTH

Its got norton anti virus on it and have run virus scans but it not picking anything up.

You might want to download Spybot and let it clean your computer up

will that run along side norton?

Ditch Norton and get something decent.

AVG is free and better.
