Hello Dr Bob,
>Try:

Excellent :-) Thats working fine!
How do I get to that link from the site? I couldn't quite find it when I just had a look, is it from the search page?
>You didn't change any settings for pop-up windows or install some sort of blocker?
No, I have windows Pop-up blocker switched on, thats always been switched one though. I just tried turning it off and using the normal search feature below, but still had the same problem..
I have noticed though, that recently I have been getting some pop-up advertising windows come up which didn't used to before, looks like some kind of spyware/adware that has leaked through. I use Norton Internet Security Anti Virus etc and I've run a scan today and found 4 adware virus which i've removed. Although from what I can tell so far, removing the virus has not fixed the problem..
I'm going to do more maintenance tomorrow to make sure the computer is running properly to see if it will fix it with regards to anymore virus/pop-ups. Do you think if theres some kind of adware/pop-up virus on my system it could be causing it to happen?
Many thanks for providing the link above, much appreciated :-) I guess if all else fails I can still use the search-test feature above?
Kind regards
Nick
