Hello all
Well, its happened . After nearly eleven years without any problems my browser got highjacked.

I open IE and get Google , my home page ...all ok.
Soon after another additional " Windows Internet Explorer " window opens and tries to redirect my browsing.

The joys of having teenagers accessing your computer...but thats another story entirely...:'(

I really need help with this one , have tried all I know for the last two days!!!

Truely all help would be very much appreciated.

Yes i`m doing that already ,
It`s not exactly an answer to removing the problem though , is it ?

Member Avatar for ScudRunner50

not really, but its good to know you're using Firefox, do you have any similar problems there?

Member Avatar for victor vector

No ,no real issues with Firefox , its a rather odd browser to use though , and I have real issues with the way the history items are handled in Firefox .
Because Explorer is part of the OS , its a real pain in the behind to see a lot of saved web pages and files that were saved in Explorer no longer accessible ( some are old and no longer online).
I dislike Windows all`round really , but to switch to linux or something similar , well, its a lot of hassle .
I`actually bought the discs to install it , but there are some real issues with help when you need it , at least windows has that.Also some software I need to run has no Linux equivalent.
Going dual boot , well , whats the point of that its just more complication for just a small handful of applications.May switch to a Mac though , I like playing with graphics.....
