I wonder if it could just have been localised to my browser and that i am not infected just my browser was,any thoughts.?
The technical stuff is way beyond me but when I was having loads of trouble with IE(or Internet Exploder as a friend nicknamed it) I was advised to use Mozilla Firefox,downloaded it and it seems to be
far better in terms of not getting virus attacks/warnings.
Very rarely crashes whereas IE used to.

Only problem I`ve found so far with Firefox is it seems to be more restrictive as to what I can access.
