Can anyone help me please? Computer related!!?

Question

I keep getting a blank box with a little box in the corner containing a red green and blue triangle. I think it's blocking a graphic I'm trying to view, how can I stop this happening? Thanks x

Answer 1

your computer is configured wrongly or your security is set too high. You may need macromedia. Try right clicking on the box or triangle and see what it brings up. Try going into control panel and then internet options and security to view your settings. Go to default and then see what happens. Jules, Australia.

Answer 2

It sounds like adware. A blocked graphic is shown by a white box with a red X.
I'd start by installing Avast! antivirus if you don't have a good antivirus, then run Ewido and Ad-Aware SE Personal.
Remember this thing may re-install itself from System Restore, so if your programs find it but is comes back, switch off System Restore and run the security scans in Safe Mode.
After you get rid of this, beef up your security.

Instal both these web browsers, turn off javascript on one and use that browser for vistiing unknown websites. They don't support Active X so thats one less way for problems to get on your pc.
