Just started this pm but every few seconds or so an Internet Explorer Security Box keeps popping onto my Screen.
It says "A website wants to open web content using this program on your computer."
Name SkypeNames
Publisher Skype Technologies SA
If I press Don't Allow it appears again after about 30 seconds or another saying the same but
Name Adobe Flash Player
Publisher Adobe Systems Incorporated
or
Name Publisher Print Driver host for 32bit applications
Publisher Microsoft Window
Anyone know how to stop these Internet Explorer Security boxes appearing please.
