Ok so sometimes I am looking at The Site or even other places and as the page loads what has started happening is the page kinda scrolls down itself. So i drag it back up and it goes back down again. Did that make sense ? Do you know what i mean ? well if you didnt the page basically has a mind of its own and does what it wants to do, not what i want it to do.
So anyways tonight i have used Norton Utilities to do a scan to check for problems and it found 27 :eek2: So i got it to repair them.
I did my critical updates and it found one so did that.
I updated my anti virus then did a full system scan to see if I had a virus and I havent.
So me good buddies, what the feck is wrong

You may know this already, but have you checked for spyware? "spyware" is a cross between a normal program and a virus. It comes with seemingly harmless programs such as Kazaa. The payload is that it keeps tabs of your browsing history so that advertisers can target specific adverts to you. If you have pop-up windows mysteriously appearing around your browser, that can often be the responsibility of spyware.
Anyway, the antidote to spyware is Ad-aware - freely downloadable. Likewise with antivirus software, make sure that the definitions are up-to-date.
The only thing that helps when it decides to play up is press the home key and it may sort it or else i have to leave the page i was viewing and go back. and its a pain in the bum :mad:
Becky, if you click on "start" > "run" .. > then type in "msconfig" at the run prompt, it opens a program called the System Configuration Utility. Next up, click on the very last page entitled "start up'. This shows a list of all of the programs that runs with Windows.
The classic spyware combo in the Msconfig start-up is the following:
- Gator
- Cmesys
- Date Manager
- Precision Time
- loadqm
These five items will often appear together. Lose them quickly!
(or whatever brower you use)
Should fix the problem, it worked for me once
Thanks
whats loadqm ? is that sommat dodgy ?
Also when I took it of my start up thing it appeared as loadQM so it is the same thing even though its capitals ?
After I did that start up thing I then went on to do a search and destroy thing and it found about 20 things so I just clicked fix problems.
No. It's used as part of the windows update background service thing.
You may or may not actually need it.
while i was on doing little bits i also did a de frag and tonight touch wood had no probs
