Hi, I have a bit of a problem and hope you can help me out.
When I connect to the internet I keep getting a search thing coming up. Its Autoplay and im getting a little box keep appearing and its searching for Autoplay, but it just searches for a couple of seconds then goes off.
I did a virus scan earlier (AVG Free) and it found 2 and got rid but I am still getting this thing coming up and its very annoying.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks very much. Oh im not too clever with computers so if you could tell me in simple terms the prob.
Thanks.
