Many thanks George, I thought that may be the problem. I'll give it a go, and maybe knowing my luck, I'll be back nagging the list for more help. Thanks.

These are small programs which unscrupulous web site owners and such like "dump" on your system without your permission. Usually a program like "Spybot" will clean out your system of this kind of trash. It's free and extremely popular. Select the download link from http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html - installation and running is fairly straightforward.
