hi Lorry have a small but annoying problem. every time i start the internet explorer there is this free-games site appearing, so i have to close it  in order to continue. any idea how i can stop this?thanks in advance, billie

Answer
Hi Billie,

Sounds like spyware, download Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.5.2 from:

http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html

Check for updates before running the scan.

After running the scan and removing any spyware, reset your homepage in Internet Explorer.

Hope this helps!
