Member Since: January 2004 Posts: 846 Send Message	Twice today I have clicked on a set of names to search through,and whenever I have clicked on a particular name,in the column on my Computer that normally houses favourites,has appeared a Lycos Search Engine,which then searches for whatever name I happen to click.Has anyone else had this problem before?,and can anyone offer me some advice on how to tackle this. Regards William Russell Jones Cefn Mawr Wrexham.

	Hi William Now I'm not the brightest of poeple when it comes to computers (or much else come to that! lol) but it sounds like you have a spyware problem. Got to this page http://www.lavasoftusa(.)com/software/adaware/ - remove brackets - and download the free spyware removal program. Run this once a week and you should be ok. I'll also see if I can find Judys routine pc maintainance thread and bump it up to the first page for you. Jeanette
