The strange thing is that I am on the internet and the forum or e mail page appears in the background. I close the 'warning' message and find things as per normal. Why would this keep coming up when I turn the computer on.
Without knowing what system you are using, I can only guess that there is a start up program which is trying to get access to the internet before the internet has had time to get fully fired up.
Or maybe your router/modem is dodgy.
Possibly antivirus package?
Try looking at your start up items, using Ccleaner/tools, and see what's there.
Also go to the provider's web site and see if they are admitting problems in your area.
