Dear All,
Ive noticed some problems when surfing the net recently.
I 1st noticed it when i tried to check my shares on my hsbc account and when i clicked on the link it said I had timed out, despite only just logging in to online banking.
Then i noticed when I was on google and i tried to change the filter settings its claimed that my cookies were disabled and therefore I could not change the settings.
Next I noticed that I can not change the BBC website to show local news, no error message this time it just reverts to default.
Also ive just noticed i cant leave feedback on ebay at the mo either.
I tried adjusting my security settings to medium/low but still no joy
The only way around this seems to be going into internet options/security and un-checking "enable protected mode", which in turn seems to de-activate my anti virus prog.
So does anyone have any idea what the heck is going on and a way to solve this prob.
By the by ive run a virus check and found nowt.
Cheers for now
Mr B
