Can anyone help please. Whenever i open a new window, 2 come up at once one perfectly normal one and another one which the anti virus blocks. Do i have some kind of virus on my computer? Any help is appreciated. Not very technical talk i know but i don't really know much!!

Thanks

It sounds like a pop-up advertisement. What were you trying to open up?

It happens everytime i ctrl & n to open another page if i'm on internet. I'll have a look on the anti virus to see if my pop - up is activated. Thanks

At a guess you either:
a) have a homepage that keeps trying to serve a pop-up
b) have mal/spy/nasty -ware on your PC and need to clean it up
c) have some other related issue...


This post might prove helpful in resolving if it is malware..
