Thank you , but what is adhoc?

Education these days, shakes head.

Use as/when you feel like it, unregulated, adhoc committee = self appointed

And there was me thinking that ADHOC was a promotion for German wine... :rotfl:

Many thanks Browntoa for the link and the very easy to follow directions. I don't use facebook but thought there was no harm in downloading it anyway, I try to be careful but with the best will in the world you never know.
I got a full bill of health anway but it was good to know about.

I've got it even worse; somehow this has banned me from using Internet Explorer on my laptop! I am having to use someone else's.

Any suggestions on what I should be looking for? I have uninstalled any new/unrecognised programmes and run a virus check which found nothing.

Thanks in advance.....

I did a system restore to a week prior to the problem and can now access the internet.

(thanks pollsdolls for being my saviour on this one)

I have got this virus through my wife clicking on the link that goes to a fake you tube site, she click on install latest flash player-- downloading the virus.

The virus seems to have corupted my internet explorer, so I cant get on the net, but my skype still works? I have run the malwarebytes and nod32 scan and seem to have deleted the trojan, but my internet explorer still wont work. When I diagnostic it says cant connect to http port 80 port 143 etc. I have spent hours trying to fix it. I have tried to reinstall windows xp, but it would not re-install just becam unresponsive-- can anyone give me some advise?
