Whenever I open my Browser (netscape 7.2) a Javascript Applicationerror box opens - inside there are the following messages

firstly it's (! F***)
then when closing the box another one replaces it saying
Hi to all you Diggers out there ;)

then the 1st box returns upon closing that the 2nd box returns then it goes completely thereafter ?, although on other occassions it has repeated a couple more times before going.


anyone know why this might happen - is my PC infected or been hacked (I hope not as I do my banking online etc, although not for a few days now)

Nothing showing on scan ?

Sounds like spyware to me mate.

Look on Google for "Free spyware software" or "Free Adaware" and download the software. Should get rid of it.

There is also a free product on the microsoft site that might help but you need service pack 2 installed and to be running XP.
