Hi, Stuart,
No, please would everyone check the website and look at the information, its nothing to do what so ever with anything brought up so far and the information about my computer has been tested on more than one internet security site please before anymore posts are submitted go to sheilds up, scroll down towards the bottom of the page.
The text below might uniquely
identify you on the Internet
Your Internet connection's IP address is uniquely associated with the following "machine name":

xxxx-xxxx0-xxxxx5.bagu.cable.ntl.com
The string of text above is known as your Internet connection's "reverse DNS." The end of the string is probably a domain name related to your ISP. This will be common to all customers of this ISP. But the beginning of the string uniquely identifies your Internet connection. The question is: Is the beginning of the string an "account ID
I have placed x about my location and account details
so, anyone else please go to the website and check out your own personal id string, its not a header isnt anything to do with internet explorer, its an id marker.
thanku for your reply stuart
regards kat
