I am having problems with my email account. i have installed the anti virus McAfee and evey time i switch computer on i get a pop up saying email have been blocked, these are of a sexual nature. I have not sent any emails at all, Can anyone help me with this. Everytime i do a virus scan it always picks up problems. Thanks

    Like today, i switched on and got a pop up saying that 236 emails had been blocked from my email address, it was saying that i had tried to send them but they had been blocked. I have not sent any emails since i joined Sky broadband. I hope this helps.

    I don't use McAfee here but you should get more help here at the skyuser forum.
