What is your start page set to and what do you want it to be? From looking at this it seems as though it should be going to the packard bell site?

Also make sure you are using antivirus software (AVG is good and free)
And try using Windows defender and Ad-Aware as well.

You could also use Firefox instead of IE to solve your problems.

I would cut down some processes i have xp pro and right now when i open the task manager i have 18 processes with atitool and mozilla!!Get rid of everything you dont need on start up.
Do you know how to use msconfig??And what browser are you using.. right click whatever one go to properties then change your page.

Thanks mate, I've got AVG and that dos'nt find anything wrong! My start page is set to about:blank but it comes up with www.securityuptodate.com and I cant change it.

I'm gonna try the link you posted see if that helps and I'll let you know the outcome.

Using msconfig probably isn't best for new users, most anti-spyware programs have a section to let you control which software loads at windows startup. Let us know how you get on trying that link.

Sorry it didn't work, a full system reboot can be a good thing (makes your PC much faster without the leftover rubbish...) and I shouldn't be a problem if you can back up data, which will be even easier if you have a network you can back it up over.
