I've been laughing at the trending hashtag on Twitter tonight #AskDerekAcorah. Such gems include: "Seeing as you are an expert on the spirit world, can you tell me how much absinthe is in Tescos please." & "If a ghost looks wonky do you have to use a spirit level?"
Well, there are viruses out there that target Macs, e.g. The Flashback Trojan, but I do agree that far more target PCs and, as you say, keep many techies in business.
I use AVG and have never had this problem, I do know of other programs that really do hide such additions in small print and obscure Ts&Cs. Just be wary of any ticked or unticked boxes.
Glad it now works! Nothing's wrong with it, but from the appearance it looked like Windows '97 or similar, so I began to think that the advice given wouldn't be relevant. I, personally, would stick with Windows 7.
True, but that's rare. I got a cut half of Henry I for 50p in a bulk lot but unfortunately many lots nowadays are just exceptionally poor grade and common, e.g. this.
Right, I didn't realise you were on a much earlier OS. It still makes me think you've got this set as your homepage. If you click on Tools at the top there should be an option (somewhere) to change your homepage.
"AVG search on newly opened Firefox tabs A few users mentioned on forums they would like to disable the AVG default new tab page (which includes AVG secure search). This feature could be disabled by clicking the Settings link in lower-right corner of the newly opened tab (note the Settings link is not available on home page, it is present only on newly opened tabs) as seen on this screenshot.- Modify the Show AVG Secure Search Box on new tabs in the browser as you wish.- Click OK to save your configuration."
In which case I'm wholly confused as to what the problem is. Are you able to post a screenshot otherwise I'm not sure we can help from your descriptions alone.
Right, so it's a page not a box? There should be the word Firefox in a gold box at the top left. Click on this, select options and then enter whichever webpage you want your Home Page to be in the box provided.
