Hi! I am very new here - I only discovered this board a week ago. Since I am rather insecure about the standard of my English I have just read the threads and enjoyed the discussions that way. However, now I have a rather imbarrasing problem and no-one to help me. I hope you try to understand my question and if someone could help me I would be very grateful.

I am very new to the computers and during the past weeks I have slowly tried to look for some porn pages that might interest me. And now y computer is attacked by porn-sites! Well, not really, but almost. My internet explorer was just fine until I accidentaly opened "search page" (don't really know what it is called in English, my explorer uses another language), next to the favourites in the toolbar. I never use it, I was trying to click on favourites. There, instead of the usual search thing was a top 100 titties or whatever. I was rather surprised, but closed it and opened the favourites thingy, and after that the boobsites keep on popping up every now and then. After I turned my computer off and opened it again all was well, until I got curious and opened the search page thingy again. After that the popping melons attacked again. So I think I am safe as long as I don't open the search page thingy - which I never do on purpose anyway, but I hate knowing it's there. Not to mention that my 12 years younger sister uses this computer occassionally.

So do you have any idea what I should do, how to get rid of this?

PS If nothing else, could you tell me how to change the boobs to huge penises - that'd be at least more to my liking!
 
:D I have no idea, but welcome to Lit. Your english sounds fine to me.

:)
 
Try this:

1. Click on the Tools Menu
2. Select Internet Options
3. Click on the Programs tab
4. Click the Reset Web Settings button

That should set your Search back to how it was originally.
 
Your English is just fine. I really like the part about popping melons. LOL
 
Yes, thank you RawHumor, it worked! Now my computer is free of material that is not suitable for my litlle sister - or doesn't please me. :)

Olga, welcome to the board.

Just curious, is your native language Russian?
 
Orwell, no, I am not a native Russian speaker, but I know enough to manage if I want to. It's not a skill that has been very useful, though. :).


Oops, cyrillics didn't work so I have to try my hand in trunsliteration: Vsyego dobrogo.

Welcome to the board!
 
WELCOME TO THE BOARD

It sounds like you're being attacked by the nortorious Pop-Up Ads.

Go to www.ZDnet.com or www.Cnet.com and enter the words, Pop Up Killer, in the search box. It will take you to many pop up ad killers that you can download. Many are freeware (free to download) and most are trail (free for a period of time). Good luck.

Whatever your native language is, you are doing great with your English. You have nothing to worry about. Enjoy the board.
