  Just recently I've been having problems with the back arrow icon on my browser bar   When I want to go back to the previous page it doesn't do it and all I get are loads of the same URL, when I right click my cursor.    media.fastclick.net/w/win.bid?si (never heard of it, is it spam?)   it's doin' me head in! Angry   Previously it was just two URLs and it was for facebook, but now it's loads of them it's very inconvenient, and time consuming, having to go to an individual icon and start all over again each time   anyone got any idea why it's happening? Please?

The reason why your PC is now running slowly is because it is trying to send you Popups...

  Thanks for that info H R   I have been getting the pop ups about cookies, I've been ignoring them, thinking if I click on the buggers I'll get no end of junk or loads more pop ups.

yea this is something a lot of people have at the moment. It comes a lot with "Free software downloads" or when trying to get movies etc illegally.

Always run security software on your PC and avoid certain types of websites to avoid this.

It isn't anything to do with BM
