My laptop has suddenly refused to launch any pages in either GoogleChrome or IE except "Welcome to BT Fon Hotspot".
Before it comes up I see "Javascript Probe"`
My ISP is BT.
Can anyone tell me what to do in really simple terms please.

bt home hub kicks out 3 signals , your normal broadband one , BT Openzone and BT Fon
double click on the wireless icon on the bottom right of your screen , and look at available networks , then select your home hub one , normally starts BTHub xxxxxx and connect to that oneEx forum ambassador

After posting query this morning I decided to open the BT Broadband Desktop Help programme to see if I could find anything relevant, &
I noticed that I had automatically been connected to the Internet on another BT page so I exited the programme & tried both my browsers again.
They both connected to their normal homepage so the problem seems to have rectified itself.
Thanks to Browntoa. I have made a note of your instructions in case it happens again.0 -
If you're using Windows 7, you can influence the order in which your system prioritises wireless networks by right-clicking the signal indicator, selecting Open Network and Sharing Center then choosing Manage wireless networks from the menu on the left.0
