 Hi All, there are a couple of moving ads down here but nothing too obtrusive so far- these computer things are a real head scratch. The bit I cannot understand is the difference looking at POE through my internet provider and then viewing it through "internet explorer", the page displays slightly different, when you hover over a pic the title comes up another way and weird for a while I had 2 different avatars, now our friend Syd is displaying the one we have seen for a long time viewing through the provider but with explorer he has changed his shirt. I will never get my head round these computer things.

I've not had any of these problems. What anti virus are each of you running. I use AVG free edition and swear by it and have done for many years.

I run Avast and have done for a long time!

Also Google Chrome is my browser!  Is that what it is called?

Avg too Dave , I just think it is the internet provider (you know which one) has always been glitchy.

Re internet provider I'm tied into Karoo which is run by Kingston Communication the only private telephone system in the country exclusive to Hulland very rarely have a problem. For browsing i tend to use Firefox now since I had my 'hacking' problem.

Avast is another very good one Cathy so this has me stumped now.

Hi all.

I am using Mozilla Firefox which comes with pop up blocker (!) and a very good anti virus and firewall. In addition I am using Windows firewall with Windows XP SP3.

I am going to try and put a screen shot of what I am getting into this post so you all can see it. Hope it works.

There you go - not very clear but you will get the idea. (Go to the extreme right of the picture to see the pop up.)

Darn, once I clicked on "post" the picture disappeared. How do I get a picture into a post?

The pop up I am talking about says Congratulations, you may have won an ipod. I think it might be coming from a service provider this end seeing as no one else seems to see it. I will try clearing the cache again and see if that helps.
