I'd hoped that Guy would respond, but thanks anyway.

I went to that site and explored a bit.

If I scroll down, towards the bottom of the page, on the RHS, is a 'box'
marked 'Backups'.

In the second paragraph it says "We are working with .... (link)
Backupanswers.com That link takes *me* to a page saying HTTP Error
404 - File or directory not found. A dead link?

Where does it take you? (I'd appreciate an answer!)

I also noticed that when I hover over that link, at the bottom of my
screen I see this:-

http://regnow.com/softsell/visitor.cgi?affiliate = 37989&...

A little below that is another 'box' entitled WinBackup. If I click in
that box I'm taken here:
http://www.liutilities.com/products/campaigns/affiliate/general/rb/

........ to:- Uniblue Registry Booster offering a "Free System Scan".

I didn't press the large green "Instant Scan" button!

What does that have to do with 'WinBackup'?

Hovering over the WinBackup 'box' I see this:

http://regnow.com/softsell/visitor.cgi?affiliate = 37989&action... (note
extra word - action!)

If I go directly to http://www.liutilities.com/products/freescans/ a
range of free scans is available, but nowhere do I see the exact same
page as in the link above. I'm now wondering if it is a spoof site.

You will appreciate that I can only tell you what I can see here on my
machine(s). Perhaps you too will explore these pages and tell me what
you find. I do understand that it might be my computers which have a
problem.

I also noticed that when I hover over that link, at the bottom of my
screen I see this:-

http://regnow.com/softsell/visitor.cgi?affiliate = 37989&...

Something doesn't seem quite right. Could it be my computers at fault or
can anyone else here see the same things?

Thanks

John
