Like I said I've had this HP about a month and started have hundreds of pop-up's when using Internet Explorer. Tried everything all the pop-up blockers. Took it to the shop where they loaded all my programs that I wanted on, come to find out it was a virus a new one and major at that. No virus protector used would have protected the computer.The cause was IE. Seems that IE and Windows 8 fight one another. So again I cannot stress and the folks at the shop too, use Mozilla Firefox.....In fact he had high lighted on the invoice the first time to use Mozilla because he installed it and of course I didn't even look at it.....

I picked the computer up yesterday and he tried to explain the above and I can say the only thing I did understand was don't use I E with Windows 8....take care frank
