As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Totally off topic

Post by charliegeorgewhocanhitem »

and probably in the wrong place but do any of you young whippersnapper whizz kids know anyfing about computers? My internet explorer has gone very weird over the last two days and is very slow to respond, takes me about 5 attempts and 20 minutes to actually get it started and that's more by luck than judgement :? Once started, it's still not operating properly, once I get to online gooner I have to wait a couple of minutes before the forum link responds and it's the same on other sites. Definitely a computer prob and not an IP one tho. Anyhoo, if I suddenly disappear for any length of time you'll know that this machine has totally fucked up just in case anyone misses me :wink: :? :lol:

problem solved
Cheers mate, all advice gratefully recieved. Best not to look too closely at the end of a long boozy weekend :wink: but I'll have a better look tomorrow. Given one or two other things happening with me computer at the moment my problem could possibly be wider than just IE. I'll give your link a more detailed read tomorrow, thanks :)

Tried deleting history, temporary internet files, cookies etc but the problem seems more fundamental than that :cry: Thanks for the advice tho. As for porn, that could'nt possibly be the problem, never look at that no sireeeeee 8) 8) 8) :shock: :shock: :shock: 8)

this stuff certainly sounds virus related. time to use the security software that slows down the pc...

there are perfectly legitimate sites that will put a virus on your machine without you even realising it. hackers are very sophisticated these days. and their viruses may not even be picked up by security software updates for a couple of weeks which is why it's always a good idea to keep websites like online banking ones in your favourites and then copy and paste passwords etc from a word document where it isn't obvious what they are/relate to (should your pc ever get nicked). keystroke viruses are ones to look out for.
