A little while ago I lost the connection to the internet, phoned them, young man talked me throught things and I got a bit lost but followed his advice, since then every time I go to internet I get a popup called Content Advisor - Will not let you see this web site and I have to continually put in a pass word, even on this site when I go from subject to subject it asks for a pass word . Is there any one out there that can tell me how to get rid of the little Evil or Very Mad *+!~" Evil or Very Mad Please, or this computer will be flying out the window. Thanks

Good grief! Sounds a right pain the the arse Evil or Very Mad Who dreams these things up Rolling Eyes the only person to be hindered is you so what's the point. I give up Rolling Eyes I think there should be more women in computing then they'd be far less awkward and far more intuitive Laughing Cuh Rolling Eyes

G2 will probably know, if you can find him. He'll be about somewhere Very Happy

I presume you are using IE for a browser (the window you are using now to read this) well dont, download this and use it

Firefox is far superior to the Microsoft stuff, if you get stuck give me a shout
