If you're sure you're sitting comfortably, I'll begin ... I have principally used Gmail for yonks to send/receive but, having preferred the Outlook 2010 screen presentation, I had linked Gmail into Outlook. That's been running OK for yonks under the infamous Vista. However since moving over to...

I have most of my music squirreled away on itunes, with which I'm perfectly happy. Since installing win8, however, MS keeps directing me towards xbox (which I don't like at all) when I try to add more music. With a little help from my friends I've now managed to get round that. Hurrah! I'm...

I had a similar (not exactly the same) prob a couple of weeks ago and, following advice on this excellent forum, I ran a full scan on malwarebytes. Job jobbed!

... and I thought it was just little old me who was irritated by that incomprehensible inetcache popup that keeps appearing ...

HG: Thank you again for having a go at this!

Thanks HG. That certainly got rid. I should be running ccleaner more often anyway. Is there a way of deleting the whole category so they never come back and the heading 'Frequent' doesn't even appear?

Can anyone tell me if there is a way of deleting all the alleged 'Frequent' buttons from the foot of the screen when I go into IE. Obviously I've tried deleting them individually but they insist on returning. Ideally I'd like to get rid of 'Frequent' itself so more of my genuine 'Favourites'...

Rudy: The external drive is only used for desktop backups, but recently has been giving occasional error messages. It was supplied up with an inbuilt WD proprietary program, the sole material benefit of which seems to be to give password protection for the drive. Am not sure if it's that prog...

Thanks to all. I'm sorry to keep banging on about this. Yes, my main reason for interest in skydrive is as a backup medium, rather than for sharing (although we do have a Win8 laptop). In addition to the .mny folder I maintain, I have a family history app which creates a .ged folder. It now...

Thanks for your thoughts on this! A supplementary: Somewhat to my surprise, I've managed to install a version of MS Money (remember that?) to run under Win8. Can anyone please tell me if it's possible to upload the data (it's in a .mny folder) into skydrive?

My shiny new Dell XPS runs Win8 (not 8.1). Needing to beef up security backup I've been looking at the (UK) Which cloud reports, and they include a decent rating for skydrive. I'm content with Office 2010. Loads of pix and music. I guess I'd need to pay for <60gb. For various reasons I still...

Pleased to report that, as suggested, running a full scan on malwarebytes appears to have got rid of the irritation. Thanks again.

Thanks, guys. But a noddy question. How would I disable and delete the addon, please? Will certainly try malwarebytes as suggested. I had always used Kaspersky IS in the past, as we do on the laptop, but this desktop came bundled with MacAfee, which hasn't picked it up. Hmmm.

Just got round to replacing kit with bright shiny Dell XPS under Win8, so please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong place or has been resolved here before. I downloaded a printscreen app used before, from Cnet and, no doubt due to my incompetence, have also finished up with unwanted and...

Thank you folks for your responses. Can't yet be certain whether hogtowner's thought has supplied the complete solution. Watch this space ...

Sorry, guys, it's me again with my noddy questions. Our new Windows 8 laptop has an irritating habit of allowing a big rectangular time and date box to pop up in the middle of doing something totally different. OK, it could be us accidentally doing something untoward on the touchpad, which...

Thanks, guys. Following Iownamoneypit's suggestion of converting to KIS 2013 the prob is now solved.

I take it, from posts on this forum, that Kaspersky Internet Security should work ok with Windows 8, even tho' W8 isn't mentioned on the KIS documentation? I have a 3-user version of KIS 2012, used happily on my desktop and on a previous laptop, both running under Vista. Tried to install on the...

Thanks brummyfan. Will do.
