anyway

Click on your "My Computer", then right click your hard drive icon, go to "Properties". Click on "Tools" tab then, under Error-Checking, click "Check Now..." Then check "Automaticly fix system errors" and "Scan for and attempt to recovery of bad sectors". You'll have to restart then it will auto run the check.

OR

or you start your PC under safe mode

after running in a safe mode, restart and press the alt f8 button.Now select the option The last working config and boot up. that might work.

Cheers Maypax,

I did the f8 thing last night, which stopped it from turnng off automatically.

Im in work at the mo,, so will have another look tomorrw.

So you were hitting the w@nk sites from home, eh ? That'll teach ya, mate....heh heh hehhhh

What operating system do you have?.

Sounds like it - there were windows popping up left right nad centre
advertising all sorts of dodgey websites.

Gotta be honest - but "operating system"? .. er windows?

(I'm a thicko when it comes to computers)  :D

Sounds indeed like a trojan + it fiddling with the register.

For starters, get to google, search "Advanced Windows Care", download that free program, run it, it will try to solve most problems (register, trojan, etc) and chances are that the problem will be solved.

If this doesn't work, then I'll have to make you more questions

Problem is mate, I cant get passed the initial google page.

But yeah, I'll bear that in mind.

Yeh, I assumed you could download it from work and copy it into a pen drive.

Without external help, try this

Open internet explorer, and ignore the main part of the screen. Go to the menu bar, where there's an option that is "tools". Then select "Internet options".

You'll see a screen of multiple tabs, select the "advanced options", and within it, there's a button which will reset your internet explorer, your initial page, the malicious toolbars you may have added...

I preffer the "external" option, but trying that won't make any harm. Also bear in mind that my IE is in Spanish, so my translations will be similar but perhaps a word is different.
