Metropol

In my own personal space on my computer, whenever I open Explorer it loads, the green blocks move, but the screen stays white (no webpage loads) and then stalls. This happens whatever inital website I am trying to connect too, and also is the same when I use MSN Explorer. I'm unable to download other browsers because I cannot initially get on the interent!

However when I log onto my mums space on the same PC, like now, Explorer works fine...

Any ideas what could be there matter?

Many thanks

I may be wide of the mark Row, but there is this little problem floating around the net just now:

From bbc.co.uk:
"Users are being told to avoid using Internet Explorer until Microsoft patches a serious security hole in it.
The loophole is being exploited to open a backdoor on a PC that could let criminals take control of a machine.

The threat of infection is so high because the code created to exploit the loophole has somehow been placed on many popular websites.

Experts say the list of compromised sites involves banks, auction and price comparison firms and is growing fast. "

Read the link for further information and advice.

I meant to say, download Firefox from your mothers machine in the meantime and install it for yourself.

I did this last night.

I heard about that problem yes. It appears to be affecting downstairs laptop too.

Cheers Gavin, I'll do that now.
