anyone have an answer for this? tonite while replying to 1of2 e mails a nice big ad for adult friendfinder.com popped up in front of my eyes.this site is a sex& swinger site.now,I dont mind if they do-but I dont. The worry is that my young kids e mail friends & this ad leaves little to the imagination.I use wanadoo webmail which I thought was safe. shortly after i'd closed the ad down& continued the e mail,my screen went blank. When i'd rebooted both e mails had gone & my in box was empty.----was this coincidence??????any help accepted.

    Yes I would run your antivirus after getting the latest updates. You (or kids) could have picked up something by opening an email attachment. If you have AdAware and/or Spybot or similar run them too.
