Thanks a million Frank. I ran the shedder, adware and
Spybot S&D and ended up collering a nasty 'alexa' thing.
I've just run IE online for a test and all is now fine.
Thanks very much for your help - it's good to know that
some people in the computer world are friendly. I must
also recommend the aumha.org/a/parasite.htm. Very
thorough and straight forward. Thanks again.
Mat.
