Laptop/internet/security issues

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

    If you're XP it may be worth doing a sfc and then go from there.
