Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 am having problems accessing my documents folder and my pic folders, the computer i have is only 6 months old and is update with security software, but last night i gave my bro a go on my pc so he can do something with his mobile phone to download a song, anyway he never went on any porn sites but since then i cant seem to view my folders everything works fine except that. i did a scan check and everything seems ok. any suggestions.

Fifty Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 HI Jurgen If youre using XP I guess it might be due to something like this? http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;272723 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 What error are you getting? There's a lot of shady web sites disguised as ring tones web sites as well. We've just spent £500 on antivirus products at work and I've STILL had to manually remove about 5 virus's off one of the lad's PC's today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 am not actually on my home computer just now but i will post up when i can, but when i click on my pic folders it just gives me some box in the middle which gives you the chance to send an error report or something.
