WHATS WRONG WITH MY COMPUTER?
 
1st of all, since Wednesday it won't let me on Ryanair's website,but I can go on anyone elses. Now I've just looked at Lynnxa's "mouse thread" and I can't view the link on that. I keep getting that page that says - you may not be connected to the internet, or you've typed a wrong address ect. Got any clues? Know some of you are computer whizzes:blink::confused:

Sorry Jean, knowing a little about computers It sounds like something to do with your security settings, but I wouldn't know how to fix it

Jean have you had a look in your content advisor in internet options maybe yr pc is blocking it. I had a similar problem and I was only trying to get on the job centre site.

Thought that. think that maybe my son has messed with some setting or other, though of course he won't admit it! Did me a favour though cos by the time I got to work Friday and booked our flights it was £100 quid cheaper than on Wed. Getting a bit p*/?ed off with it now though!

If you are trying to get on from a favourite the link maybe broken, have you tried typing the address in for ryanair ?

I know this may sound a bit dodgy but if you click
start/control panel/internet options settings then the content then ratings tab
highlight the fear intimidation section and push the slider to unrestricted then apply and ok
it may sort it out I did that and it solved the problem and I have had no trouble at all since.

I may be to do with your PC not reloading the real page but retrieving it from your history on your PC.
Did you get.....

Ryanair.com - File Not Found
The page you are looking for may have moved
or perhaps you mis-typed the address.
Return to www.ryanair.com
or
Click the < Back button to try another link.


If so maybe delete history and cookies and try again.
Tools, internet options, browsing history, delete, delete all.

Or alternatively try Mozilla Firefox browser its very similar to Internet Explorer but better!
I assume you are using IE?

You apparently have a worm.

There is a forum where they have experts who are really very nice and give free persnnal advice on how to get rid of your problem.

First though I suggest downloading and running Spybot (from the same people)

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

Once this is done go to the forum. Cut and paste the report you get from the spybot scan. They will do the rest, telling you what programs you should install and which of your files have been affected. They will also tell you if when a file is affected it is putting you at any risk. It's a bit time consuming, but well worth it. The person assigened to my problem last year was quick and helped me do a total clean up (and that was no easy job - think teenagers bedroom!!!) and over two days it was done. Had I asked a tech to do it, then yes it would have been quicker but around 150 € more expensive

Re: WHATS WRONG WITH MY COMPUTER?
 
Im by far no expert,but I would be inclined to run system restore first of all,I had a simular problem a couple of weeks ago,I could not get into the paypal site to sign up,it turned out to be something to do with the Norton security,so I went in the Norton and did something or other (downloaded some tools) :eek: well it sorted the problem ,Iv also downloaded Spybot and ccleaner a few weeks ago has suggested and run them once a week or so.........good luck :ohmy:

Give us a list of your anti spyware programs that you should update and run at least weekly.

Go to Trend Housecall at this link, tick the I agree box and then launch housecall.
This will find and remove any nasties that it finds. :thumbup:
