Hi All I have a bit of a problem... I am running Win XP SP2 and I am connecting to the internet via Broadband. Webpages are failing to load whenever I try using Internet Explorer and Firefox goes directly into error reporting mode when I try using that - however MSN Live Messenger works (which i use on port 80) and also when i use the diagnostic tool it tells me there is no issue with the connection settings. I have also tried connecting at my home and place of work to no avail with web browsers but ok with other things I have also noticed that when i go into taskman. In processes I have Python.exe (which I have never noticed before as running - but i know other programs can and do utilise this language) I also have LuCallbackProxy.exe running (another program I havent noticed before) - which lead me to think I may have a virus on the laptop. I have run a range of virus checkers on my machine however but nothing coming up. Any help or advice would be great James-J me(at)james-j.co.uk
