Thanks for your welcome, I guess I'm out of lurk mode for good. It was easier being a lurkee as I could read all the posts. Now I can't keep up with all the activity here LOL.

If you are running a good anti virus software make sure it is updated - regularly. If you are running windows, update with all the security patches you can.
Go to browser setting (tools -internet options) and click security. There are several boxes to tick or untick.
I have currently disabled all java, javascript, active scripts and active X. If you set them to prompt you will get a promt box come up every time you access a website. It will also stop the popups and a lot of those annoying adverts being displayed. I now only allow scripts to run on trusted websites. Most of the scripts are harmless but it is better to be safe.
There is some good information a few post up on this forum
which might be useful :)

If you are unsure please do a virus scan ASAP.
