While on the net earlier I got a pop-up. It said something about my IP address and recommended that I go here [url]http://images.bonzi.com/fastclick
to get something to protect me. Any advice would be appreciated.

Yes, totally ignore it as it is just spam. Run a decent firewall, AV software, updating the defintions daily, and a trojan sniffer with an updated database and you shouldn't need to worry about it.

I've not got a firewall. My mate had one and said it was nothing but bother so he did away with it.

I would get one installed PDQ if I was you m8. To say it's essential if you use the web at all is the biggest understatement ever.

Take a look around the "Computer Security" forum for what people are saying about the various progs on offer, a lot like Kerio & Sygate are FREE.
