I've got Mcafee Security Centre, which has:
virusscan software
personal firewall
etc
I've done a full virus scan, and done a full Windows Defender scan, it's not coming up with anything.
The strange thing is that the Dell built in support keeps telling me my Internet Explorer security settings are too low - they are all set to the lowest setting, and then when I set them back to default, a while later they'll go back to the lowest settings again...
Another odd thing happens is that a MS Internet Explorer box appears saying "The current web page is trying to open a site on the internet - do you want to allow this?"
This all started after Mcafee popped up saying "found virus" to which I said "delete", but it doesn't seem to have gone away!
Any ideas?
I don't normally use IE, and wasn't using IE when it said it was infected, but it said the infected file was in the IE cache area... which I've now deleted...
Will try Stinger and see if that finds anything...

Do I turn this off, and then it'll delete the system restore stuff?
