My computer seems to have picked up something nasty from the internet 
At first I thought it was a problem within my Fire Fox software, so I deleted it - and now it's started with IE7.
Almost all websites I visit; be it via my favourites list or by typing the address in, I end up with 'adult material' instead. The websites I end up with have different names, but the layout / content / etc is exactly the same every time (so it's obviously one thing that's causing the problem). I'm now down to three websites that still work fine - that's this one, TTF and Essex fire service.
Quality .
I have deleted all cookies, saved history & saved passwords. All are now set such that they shouldn't remember anything (though I know computers still 'record things' :
. Windows firewall is active, as is AVG for virus scanning (both have been this way since well before this aggro started).
The next best thing as I see it is to delete IE7 completely - but as this started in Fire Fox and only affected IE7 after I deleted Fire Fox, I'm thinking it probably won't work
So over to the experts - is there anything else I can try?
BTW, my time on the net over the next few days may be limited on account that I had a phone call yesterday afternoon - "your car arrived on the transporter today, you can pick it up tomorow".
Yep, my brand new Fiesta ST is my 'new toy' ;D

) and I did a full scan with AVG yesterday. The scan said it found nothing un-toward
