Help please

Hi,

I've got an Asus notebook with Windows 8. On my old laptop if i was looking at an email with a link I could hover over it til I got the hand and the page would open however this doesn't happen with my new notebook/Windows 8 so I have to cut & paste it, which seems long winded. Don't know if I'm doing something wrong?

Any idea how I speed things up?

Thanks

Why speed up the attack vector, decide you want to open then it's your choice, if it opens up automatically then you will be back asking "xyz is taking over my browser/pc"

Are these links in your email client or within your browser? Which browser are you using?
Are the links blue and underlined or just part of the text?

Links are in the email. The whole email is just black type, nothing blue.

Does this give you the info you need?


Thanks

But do you use your email on a web-based email (i.e. you use your browser), or do you download your email into a client such as Outlook Express, Outlook, Mail etc?

Client or Web for email? If Client, which one?

Emails are very easy to make them look like they are from my-friend"at"their-address

How about answering the questions asked? Indeed you quoted a post that asked questions of YOU.

Unless you provide the info then it's very difficult to help you.
