Thanks very much Ursula,
I have been in touch with my ISP and their not so heplful tech support. However they have a free 60 day offer of anti-viral anti- hacker phishing etc software at the moment so I am going to download that. (After the 60 days you have to pay and pay but I can unsubscribe before that happens.) The reason is I will use this software for now is that I only have dialup with a limit of 50 mb downloads per month (unfortunately this also means about 2 songs a month from Limewire.) The software you recommended will use a lot of my download allowance and my ISPs will not use any. It will solve the problem in the short term. I am upgrading to broadband in the very near future so will install the malwarebyte then. Do you think this is sufficient? Also thankyou for moving me, and sorry but I keep going into gnutella forums, how do I get into Limewire forums?
Thanks again and sorry to be a pain,
Regards,
Carol
