| Working from home on XP these adds keep popping up saying 
| that I am vulnerable to hacking, followed by an 
| advertisement for security measures.  This is very 
| annoying plus I am concerned that my activities on the 
| computer are being monitored (e.g. web banking etc). What 
| is actually happening and what can I do about it????
