Nope, definitely not getting anything like that Sweet! I'd drop Az a line, just in case.

Just you Julie
Sounds like you've picked up a computer virus or similar. Hope it clears up

If you find a cure Sweet, let me know as Em's computer is exactly the same All the other pc's in the house are fine and we all run the same antivrus software, spyware software etc but for some reason Em's is forever popping up with stuff like you've described. I've checked for virus' and it says there aren't any

Re: Just me going mad?


We have every kind of security on our PC at home coz we run work stuff on it too, but when we look at certain sites (like a TV listings site) it keeps opening new windows for poker games, casino sites etc. No firewalls, pop up blockers or anti-virus software seem to keep it away.

But I've never had it with Catsey. Did you have another website open Julie that these might have been associated with?
