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. |

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. |

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.)

Syd Harling Posts: 636 Joined: 21st Apr 2011 Location: South Africa | Posted at 07:32 on 19th May 2012 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. |
