Had to totally reboot fropm scratch my main laptop, its going to take hours of days to sort.

So be careful on what links you find if your searching for prepping in the UK

that's happened to me 3 times already, it pretends to be a Police notice...is that the one NR? I've had Avon and Somerset Police, Wiltshire Police and the last one was Dorset, its all Bollox and its all a virus...cost me £55 each time to get my laptop cleared...by someone who knows a lot more about it than me! that was when I was on Google Chrome and although I had a anti virus programme it didn't help, I've now gone back to internet explorer and I've got AVG fitted which so far-cross fingers- seems to be working......it helps if you stay off the "Adult" sites as well, that's what seems to trigger it!
