    Browsing The Site

    While I browse the Forum I regularly get a Yahoo page pop up. Its been happening for about a week, and only happens on this site.

    Anyone else experiencing the same ,or how to resolve the issue

    Nothing like that for me.
    Wish I had enough knowledge to make some suggestions.

    Sorry Pete, I am not aware of this pop up either, can you take a 'printscreen' of the offender and post it up so we can see. Use a photo hosting site like Photobucket to post pics.

    Maybe the Boss can have a look, but like Les suggests, run or do a full scan with an anti-virus

    I run a full scan once a week and it also scans during idle time plus I defrag weekly.
    This has only started after Keith made some site adjustments so I put two and two together and made three.
    Appreciate your views though your all in agreement its my end, strange one

    It happened again while viewing the thread, this is the address

    When I have a few days clear I will reformat, a job I hate

    Aha I think its just in your browser settings,Just check if your home page has been changed or if any additional home page tabs are showing.
    I remember getting 'Ask Jeeves' all the time and I just disabled it in my browser settings.
    I'm sure you don't need to reformat unless it's a while and you want to clear up the crap anyway.

    It was the first thing I checked Les, all ok.
    I also had the `Ask Jeeves` a few weeks ago after either a browser update or windows update and just took it off.
    As this problem is just on `Filipino Uk` I would presume it to be a corrupt file or I will check my downloads over the last few weeks for something clashing.
