I'm not convinced it's a virus or anything because it ONLY happens with blogs. Nothing else.<br />I hope your laptop gets better. :-)<br /><br />Jessie, you don't have an antivirus installed? I think SpyBot and Malware Bytes are pretty good, free things you can use too.Jessica Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365768876905444157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-13679166849916262022010-01-20T21:58:29.869-05:002010-01-20T21:58:29.869-05:00This exact same thing has been happening to me.

I still don't know what caused it, but I do know that after that terrible virus that hit me twice and having to send lappy into the computer geeks for a complete overall, the problem went away. I wonder if you restored your computer to the week before this started happening if that would rid you of it?

I realize this is a different problem, but switching to Firefox also fixed that. You asked about how easy Firefox is to use. I found it just as easy as IE, and I believe it's just a free download you can take care of in a matter of minutes.<br /><br />My home computer was once out of service for a month before my computer-savvy brother managed to get it back up and running for me. That was a bit of a rough time, so I hope your troubles are solved much, much more quickly!<br /><br />Best of luck!Emily Conradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263098241486921751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-49686519854648435202010-01-17T17:34:10.405-05:002010-01-17T17:34:10.405-05:00how does your computer give you a warning?
