  • Did what it said and disabled them but it was still popping up? and then I found I could not access some programmes properly like Photo bucket so switched it back... I do not understand why this has just started it was fine a few weeks ago was wondering if to do a system restore ? and see if this clears it :confused:

  • Tried them all but for the last one which tells you how to remove it all together don't think I will go there because I am not sure what I am doing with things like that and usually end up with a bigger problem than I started with ... It makes no difference if I have checked /unchecked them in security tab it still does it ..getting on my pigging nerves popping up all the time :mad: but hey Thanks for trying to sort it out for me Kev .
