Shows how often I reboot my laptop.

Fired it up this morning, and a window pops up, trying to direct me to browserchoice.eu

Straight away I'm trying to find out how this peice of malware made itself onto my lappie and got through all my security!

5 seconds of research, and it seems its from Microsoft themselves, the result of some court unfair competiton ruling, so they have to now display alternatives to Internet Explorer.

Fair enough, while I'm here, I'll try out the latest firefox which Stavros keeps banging on about, click the link, downloads the installer, and boom, Internet Explorer crashes and won't let you download it lol.

Microsofts revenge, or just my ropey laptop?

Thanks! Well after much complex technical analysis and investigation, and falling back on years of IBM training, I rebooted it and now it works
