    What computer are you using?
    What operating system?
    What web browser?
    What anti-virus?
    What anti-spyware?
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    Web browser = Google

    Do you mean you are using Google Chrome as your web browser, or Google as your home page/search engine?
