IE 64 bit isnt compatible with all sites i found, the 32bit should be fine, you do have anti spyware software as well as anti virus software Dan?

I use Firefox myself and have no worries.

What makes you think you picked up a virus on Facebook Dan?

Also run Malware Bytes it really is good for a free program.

It does sound like spyware which is annoying and can slow your browsing down, there is another free program called Ad-Aware by Lavasoft that does a good job of removing those Dan, google it and run it m8, its just another extra step to keep the crap off your PC, make sure it is by Lavasoft only as there are other ones that claim to remove spyware but actually install spyware.


Official Site...

Haha James with his magic hat

Get a firewall mate

a software firewall will totally put your mind at rest about intrusions on your computer, only you can allow any traffic in or out of your computer.

read up on it first though, you dont want to block your internet traffic

theer is a free version which is superb.

Lol Dan, you get that helmet from Wolff?

Im sure Dans got norton internet security running so hes ok for a firewall.

"a software firewall will totally put your mind at rest about intrusions on your computer"
Thats not entirely true.

my pc was running badly and every time i entered a search on ebay or amazon internet explorer crashed , went on for a couple of weeks, i downloaded and installed all the available microsoft updates and now it seems to be runnning lots better, and everything loads a hell of a lot faster
