    Once it has cleaned everything up, try again & let me know if you still have the problem.

    Cliff, my mistake I meant Adaware and Pest Patrol but I brain scanned you last night and down loaded Microsoft's spyware attempt and it cleaned out a bit more stuff. Still no change. I think IE is Kaput. I set everything to defaults and removed every program I could including Java but still no change. I'm on SWMBO's machine at the moment.

    I can't help thinking this started with the latest round of MS updates (whatever they were).

    Anymore bright ideas (running spybot now)

    Cheers

    Wundows is all up to date if thats what you mean??, an spybot was updated before I ran it so should be OK. I still don't get it?? all I did last night apart from running Bill's spyware thingy (which found a trojan) was defrag everything and clean up the registry. I removed some invalid uninstallers and shortcuts etc, just normally things I do once a month but anyway...its working.

    I think I'm heading for a reload (ouch)

    Cheers

    Cliff, one thing (jus remembered) I did do last night was uninstall the Microsoft .net framework. Could that have been it??

    Thanks Cliff, I'll do that later this morning, and let you know if it worked.

    Cliff, I went to Amazon again this morning and they were quite happy with me today. No bug warning, accepted my password etc.

    Do you think they were putting the frighteners on me yesterday
    and perhaps trying to steer me to some security software?

    Anyway thanks for assistance and I shall download the spybot as suggested.

    If you want to clean out ALL the crud from your machine use this.

    http://cleanup.stevengould.org/

    Beware, it cleans out ALL your cookies too.
    But it works..
    I use it from time to time.

    Instead of making sawdust I decided to cook lunch.


    Help

    I've dropped the patry case on the kitchen floor (it's carpertered as well )

    The wife is laughing and making me up a new pastry case for quiche.
