Dear Dwight Thanking you for responding. I am in my 80s & not too swift. 1. Not @ bootup, but when I change web site. 2. Yes, however I can't remember what program it was. |

If you don't have a HP device, a little more info would be helpful!

From what you're describing, it sounds like a pop-up advertising message. Pop-ups can be very very annoying and you may find it beneficial to have your system scanned for "Spyware" which can be downloaded behind your back and which can the source of much of this type of problem. There are a variety of free yet very useful products that I can recommend. You can visit my Website at: http://dwightblackburn.comOn the left side column, click on the link titled "Spyware" and it will direct to an explanation and download area. If you like, I can link my computer with yours and do this remotely. This is also explained under the section titled "Computer Training". I hope this will be of some help! Dwight |
