Windows XP download problems...

Hi

I am wondering if anyone can help me out here.

Ok i am not that computer literate so bear with me.

Basically i have a pc and im trying to download a free virus scanner to check out my pc and i cannot download anything. I am having trouble with clicking on links ie. cannot get into my banking site, cannot get further than the front page of most websites.

This is a real problem and does anybody know or have any suggestions as to what may have happened.

Your help would be very appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Steve

This sounds like it might be a malware issue. Have a read of this thread and follow the steps outlined in it, and then if you are still having problems, post a HijackThis log in the System Security forum. You will obviously have to download the requisite tools on another computer and transfer them over either by burning a CD or using a USB memory key.
