I use the free version of CCleaner to clean up my PC - I run it everyday before I log off

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

Just wanted to let you know that I am sorted. Had six and half years of browsing history. Removed it . I hadn't known it was best to do this but Hey Ho done now. Switched to Chrome and can get into all that I want to see. Lost my tree on here for a while but GR support team put me straight.
Thanks to all for advice

It`s not a virus. It`s due I believe to IE security settings, something to do with "Trusted sites" or even Add ons.
Elizabeth is right. I think changing you browser to Chrome will eliminate the explorer problem.
You can always change back if you don't like Chrome.

Although I have Windows 7 (and IE11) I still occasionally get this message or just a stalemate - I can usually get straight through to problem sites on Chrome|

If you are still running XP then do not use Internet Explorer.

Thanks Graham, will try that. Not sure about anti-viral software, pleading ignorance yet again.

Trying clearing the cache/browser history. That usually helps. ;-)

Do you have anti-virual software?

Can someone please tell me how I would know if I had a virus. I am right p***ed off at the moment. Everytime I try to see a web page I get - Internet Explorer cannot display web page. Tried to book a holiday, filled in all the gubbins but when I went to book it I got the same message. Is it me or what. I can get Ancestry and Gr but this problem is driving me nuts.
Many thanks
Phyll
