Another Computer Problem.

[snuffer]

Sorry guys won't be able to get on-line as often as I would like. Lap-top is playing up again. Seems to be some sort of bug or virus. Pop up keeps appearing on screen, when you try to close it down whatever web-site you are on also closes down. Can never get beyond Google to any other web-sites.

Have done an on demand virus scan but that didn't pick anything up. Will have to wait until eldest lad is available to sort it out.

Fortunately I can still log on using one of the machines in the study but it's not the sameas having the lap-top close at hand.

download 'spysweeper' for free, just type in spysweeper in search, it will help and sort it out

Thanks for the advice allotmentlady but you don't know me and computers. I just know that if I try and sort it out myself I am bound to make things worse. That will lead to much shaking of head from number one son as he, yet again, sorts out another of his dad's computer cock-ups.

If I get really brave, I might give it a go later this evening but if it all goes wrong I won't hesitate to tell him that you put me up to it.

There is a pop up blocker on windows you could try

There is a computer whiz on this forum offering help as he/she cannot offer help with growing. Sorry, I can't remember the name. SEARCH ?
Found it !
