I am still using XP, and am transitioning to a new PC. For now I need the XP one to work. I started to get annoying pop up whole tabs appear on Chrome and did everything I could think of to stop them. Eventually I decided to remove Chrome and then reinstall it. Trouble is, I now can't find a way to do this. I'd be very grateful for any advice. Firefox is very glitchy and I seem to now get Yahoo Canda when I open a new tab and do a search! Help!
To sort out Firefox's problems, first make sure that you've got File/Edit/View/History, etc across the top of your page. (If it's not showing, right-click up there and put a tick next to 'Menu bar'). Then go to Help > Troubleshooting Information. Click on Refresh Firefox.
XP is no longer supported by Microsoft security updates. Please see the latest news for proof of failure to upgrade unsupported operating systems. Sounds like you still connect to the internet.
Thanks- I have reinstalled chrome. But I discovered 4 additional tabs/spam pages when I left the PC idle. I've run all my usual malware programs. Any advice gratefully received!
