| 860541 | 2010-02-22 06:07:00 | My comp can be doing nothing, on the desktop then a webpage pops up, usually the page has internet explorer at the end. How can I stop this random access. I always use Mozilla. Also since I had an upgrade (2 weeks ago) I can not see the little 2 tv's at the bottom right of the screen. I would like these back. | gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 860542 | 2010-02-22 06:14:00 | the two little tvs are pc screens. Meaning your computer talking to something else. They also tell you receiving or sending. Thats an easy fix. XP: Start menu, Control Panel, Network connections, Right click your adapter and select properties, then tick the box that says show when connected. Vista: Start menu, Control Panel, Network and Sharing Center, (Left hand side) Manage network connections, Right click your adapter and select properties, then tick the box that says show when connected. | nedkelly (9059) | ||

| 860546 | 2010-02-22 09:54:00 | Like Blam said, this is almost certainly caused by malware. If I had to guess, the sites that pop up will be enticing you into gambling or other sites wanting your money? Get scanning asap. |

| 860548 | 2010-02-22 20:54:00 | I deleted Avast, rebooted, ran MSE, full scan. Whilst MSE was scanning a window poped up relating to "male health" so I then disabled the internet connection. At the end of the scan-: "No items detected"??? | gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 860549 | 2010-02-22 21:01:00 | Download Malware Bytes and try that. (The free version) Update -> Scan. |
