    Internet problems
    I recently dowloaded something called "Zango", that allows you to watch videos and play games and stuff like that. It was doing odd things to my computer like slowing the internet and even though I have virus protection my homepage on the web was this security page saying how I needed to get protection, and I was also getting a lot of pop-ups. I ran a few virus scans, deleted Zango, cleaned off the viruses and restarted my computer. A few months ago I didn't have virus protection and the same things happened then that started to happen now. But after I did all of this it was still a little weird. Now the homepage to my computer is just called "Blank Page", and I can't click on any links on a website that usually open on another page, which is the main problem I want solved. Just a much as I want my internet to go back to normal, I REALLY want to know why it's like this in the first place!

    Try using System Restore to restore to a time before the problems started.

    They make money by downloading adware onto your PC, nearly always without your consent.

    It's the most bloated piece of software I have ever come across and you're better off deleting all traces of it from your PC

    If you have a follow-up please post a reply to the thread. Most of us do not answer questions via PM or E-mail.

    Go to Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools. You will find System Restore there. Follow the instructions.
