    it could be a number of things but is more than likely due to crap that you have picked up from the net...

    Best to run some cleaning apps over your machine to start with..

    The home of Spybot-S&D!

    SpywareBlaster? | Prevent spyware and malware. Free download.

    Malwarebytes.org

    Ad-Aware Free - Download security software for spyware removal - Lavasoft

    All these products are free so download and run so long as you are happy manually updating them (which is best done every two weeks).

    Another issue could be your firewall has updated and could be blocking these but that depends on the firewall...

    Free Firewall by ZoneAlarm

    this is a good one if you want some good protection for free.


    After donwloading, installing and running these apps come back and let us know your situation. We can go more indepth but its best to bet the gremlins out of the way first..

        Hi

        I am using Windows firewall and all seems to be okay. I was looking at Comodo as a free alternative. In your opinion is Zone Alarm better than Comodo or is just personal preference. (I did have Zone Alarm installed once upon a time).

          Zonealarm is made by Checkpoint which makes a very popular and very well thought of robust corporate firewall, it is used by many blue chip companies out there so you could say the Checkpoint know there stuff.

          I have used it with great success for a number of years now and am actually considering buying a licence for the full Zonealarm.

          It gets my thumbs up...

            This would seem to me that someone has emailed you a torrent link to a vid and you do not have the proper torrent software installed, Do a google for uTorrent and install that, then click on the link again
