Computer Security & Viruses/tab has been recovered

Question
QUESTION: Hello Brain,
My webpage keeps refreshing saying this tab had been recovered(annoying). Do you have any idea what this could be?  Thanks in advance.

ANSWER: Hi Rod

Try unchecking the option to automatically recover from layout errors under Tools->Internet Options->Advanced.  That should stop the message from appearing.

QUESTION: Ok so Brian the tab still keeps refreshing after I've done what you said to try.

Also when you upgrade Adobe do I have to uninstall Adobe 9? Because it won't let me download the latest one.

Answer
Hi Rod

Try turning off any pop-up blockers you may have on your browser.  Go to Tools->Pop-Up Blocker->Turn Off Pop-up Blocker.  Also, if you have any toolbars installed, such as Yahoo or Google, disable pop-up blocking in those as well.  Then try downloading from Adobe (you do not have to uninstall first).
