Hi Guys
I've just logged onto the forum and went to the "Tea Shop" and opened up one of TC's posts, seconds after one of the words in his text changed font color to blue and was double underlined. I came out of the topic imeadiatly and I noticed that other words in the index were the same, TC's was "Member" and on the index "Cycle" any ideas?
I run McCaffee and Malware bytes both uptodate.

No probs TC

I'm sure youre squeaky clean, Well at least your chain will be if you've followed the Mick F method, forensics wont find anything I'm sure.
Just had a look at the problem and when the link is clicked it opens up a popup to "Epic play". When I booted up the PC tonight the home page had been changed to "Ask" as opposed to the BBC news page and the Ask tool bar was inserted.

I think I've sorted it! I deleted "Epic play"from the add remove list in the control panel and it's sorted it out ...... I think

aparently Mrs FW downloaed a game this afternoon from another well known game house, "Did you see anything from Epic play ?" "Ohh I think so." What was hapening was, It would find a word that must be contained in the program dictionary (for want of a better way to describe it) and use that to form the link, no doubt some of our more learned members would elucidate. It just so happened that it was TC's post that I opend first. I went onto the BBC website and the were quite a few "Links" It's a pity we can't Tazer the PC's of these morons as I've just spent a couple of hours messing about trying to sort it out.
Bah humbug
but at least it's sorted
