I would highly recommend running a virus scan and downloading Spybot S&D (I am a big Fan of this program)... install it, update it, then let it clean out your PC... If you dont have a virus scanner, AVG makes a good free one...

the PC in Safe Mode by continually pressing F8. Select Safe Mode with Networking and then try and download Spybot and update it. You should be scanning in Safe Mode for Virus activity.

I cannot remember the exact wording but it basically says a programme is attampting to connect to the internet - allow or block. The programme is always just a bunch of letter and numbers??

Which program is asking, and what is the program that it is asking about?

If the program asking you to allow or block a connection is a security program, you may simply need to decide if you want the program specified to be allowed to connect.

Managed to dl spybot sd found 5 threats got rid of those but still cant click on a picture link. Do you think we should go on a different computer and change all passwords and stop buying things offline?
