To day i went to connect up to my ntl broadband , (sync and ready light on the internet modem ok) and first of all i got a message
Local area connection status limited or no connectivity.
I turned the computor and the modem off to reboot and got the same messge. After a couple of reboots the monitor stayed blank , in the end all i could do was switch off at mains as nothing was responding.
I then tried starting up again and this time all switched on ok , i got into internet and was surfing then all of a sudden i started getting
page cannot be dissplayed , and all my favorites dissopeared of the favorites page.
I tried shuting down when a message came up basicly telling me outlook exploer has hung , do i want to send this problem to microsoft, which i did and got a list back of things i should do , ie do a virus scan , spy bot etc,
A virus scan found no virus but when i did the spybot it came back with 1 object found, i got this fixed and have now been able to surf again. The thing found was something like homeing.biz what ever that is. Do you think that is what prob was.
