I think my son has acquired something from the net while using my computer.

For a few weeks now I unexpectedly get security pop up windows from sites I have never gotten them from before.

Web pages stop loading, they just hang.

I tried running Trend Micro and it says I need the current Java. I have the current Java.

Sometimes on the 2nd try the pages load, sometimes they don't.

SuperAnti Spyware doesn't detect anything. Pest Patrol doesn't show anything. AVG doesn't detect anything. Spyware blaster didn't find anything either.

This is very annoying.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it's IE, did you try Firefox?

How come do you have IE7 installed on Windows 2000? IE7 is not compatible with Win2K

IE6 Must have fat fingers :-)

I unexpectedly get security pop up windows

What do they say?
Did you try Firefox?

[ScottAz]

They ask if I want to display secure and non secre information and other stuff like that.

No I didn't use firefox. I am not changing browsers, i'm trying to figure out why this is happening.

Nobobody asks you to change your default browser.
I asked you to try Firefox, so we can determine, if it's IE problem, or something else.

I ran an online scanner, PC Tools and it says I have Ezula and ISTbar. There is something about swearware and Catchme also.

I have received no reply to my post in he hijack this forum.
