Have had computer hijacked by some virus/trojan horse type thing. Seems relatively benign in that it simply changes your internet explorer home page to about:blank - and then you get bombarded by pop ups from companies saying your computer has been hijacked and please buy our programme that will eradicate the problem - but so far that seems to be all. Funny how these companies suddenly knew we had a problem - could they be linked???!!! Anyway, have found some programme that seems to have destroyed the problem although only time will tell as it kept coming back over the weekend.

Anyone else had this problem? It got past Norton and a variety of other virus checkers.

Cheers my dears

Also tried to download spyware blaster which brother-in-law has recommended - but something in machine is corrupting it and it won't install properly.
