    Post a hijack log then install every antivirus and firewall you can find then wipe the screen with some wire wool and that should fix it.

    thats what rik would do

    :D

    Sorry, what is a hijack log?

    I think maybe spyware terminator may be blocking me opening them? as ive just noticed I get a blocked message when i try to open my pics?
