Hi Baggers. You dont mention which operating system or which browser you are using. Would also be nice to know if you have got a firewall running (type?), if you have got anti virus installed(type?) & have recently scanned for viruses/spyware/adware. Have you kept your anti-virus & firewall updated? A lot of those things could have a bearing upon your current situation.

The more information you can give the better. How long has your computer been like this? Have you thought of System Restore as a solution to your problem?

I'm sure someone will be along to help once you have answered the basics.

Spybot S&D and AVG Free Edition. Make sure to run updates, and a full scan with both.
