It's not a virus or malware guys...it's a new program by the Café to increase revenue. Get a good ad blocker plugin and you're good to go!

These ads are not magic related they are for car insurance, shoes, you have won 1000 Euros, butchers shops etc.

You can clear up many problems in IE by resetting IE to it original setting when it was originally installed. You will only use any special setting, not your favorites. You will lose any tabs you have set to start on opening IE.
In Menu bar, click on Tools, then at the bottom click on Internet Options, then in the Advanced tab, at the bottom of the window click on Reset. I was having so many problems with IE 10 was installed, this cleared up everything. Good tool to have. If you cannot see your Menu Bar, put the mouse at a blank space and right click for the drop down list. Click on Menu Bar to check it. It will appear at the top. After you fix IE you can uncheck it for it to disappear. |

Bill, tried your suggestion and its still the same, I think I will just reformat my drive and install everything again, it will take all day but its getting worse and driving me nuts, I have a friend who owns a computer shop and repairs computers,as its Sunday he came and had a look, he cant find anything either.

George you are just spinning your wheels. Call a geek before the malware shuts down your computer for good.

Two days since I formatted and its happening again, got the techies around again and it seems its caused by installing skype emotions, I never installed it but it seems it is bundled with free software such as vlp player etc, anyay to get rid of it, viru checkers wont detect it, neither will lots of malware progs you need to download and run a freeware prog called Adware Remover Tool v3.6 its a new problem apparently and has nothing to do with skype

I gave you advise that you could take to the bank, but you laughed at me. I am not laughing at you, but in the end you will either take my advise or buy another computer my friend.
