Its probably some kind of virus or a dodgy bit of software thats been installed, like an unwanted web browser toolbar that gets installed with another programme if you don't uncheck an option box. Try running your web browser with 'add-ons' turned off. If you have a anti-virus programme then leave it do a full scan of your PC too, if you don't have anything then install a free one like Microsoft Security Essentials.

Thanks for your help mate, i turned off the add ons, its still not working. so currently running a scan atm. Hopefully this will find the problem

Treat it to a nice cold glass of water, settle things over a drink, then hurl it at the wall in a frustrated fury after it then fails to do anything at all lol

What browser are you using? Sometimes just clearing temp files and cookies can solve a lot of problems, I've had problems with chrome that sort themselves out by doing that lol

i ran my anti virus and there was no results, i then ran my anti malware and cleared all the infections. i have cleared all my temp files and cookies aswell and its still not working!!

internet explorer

Ah, there's your problem then. For the love of god, download Chrome or Firefox, much much safer, secure and faster aside from anything else! :)
