Computer problem: Why can't I drill down anymore?

[artforartssake]

I don’t seem to be able to drill down into some major websites anymore. Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?

For example, I can log into my bank’s website and see all my account balances but then I can’t drill down to see the transactions. I can get onto Gotalk’s website to see my home page but then can’t drill down to select my service to see the balances. I’ve also noticed that my Yahoo calendar does not display properly. It only shows the times of the appointments, not the details. 

I have a Toshiba laptop that’s 3 yrs old. It runs on the Win7 operating system with Internet Explorer ver 9 as my browser. As far as I can see, apart from this problem, it’s in perfect condition and all programs run normally. I use McAfee protection software which regularly scans the disks and tells me that my computer is safe.

I have used another laptop computer on the same broadband account and it works fine. I’ve also checked my internet usage and I’m well within my limits (only used 50% with 2/3 of the usage month gone). I don’t think it’s anything to do with “popup blockers” either. If I turn them off it doesn’t make any diff.

with Tuneup and Antivirus you need to always check that they are updated.. they will just about  all do it automatically but not always so it is good to check...

PS

Since installing the trial version of TuneUp, I'm getting regular reminders/offers to subscribe for the paid up version at $60 (which I assume is USD not AUD)

Should I be doing this?

And what if I purchase a new comp later this yr: can I transfer the subscription to the new comp, as I have done previously with McAfee?

good advice, thanks but just lastly what do you mean by "update update update"?

I thought McAfee does this all the time, as its constantly telling me that everything is up to date and fine. My subs are always renewed every October

McAfee is just an Anti virus program so it can only find and remove viruses.. Tune up Utilities helps clean up your PC from other things that happen when you uninstall programs etc.. Always have an anti virus software .. 

Not all AV software will get rid of those Bearshare things, they are designed to be hard to get rid of and as cat says they won't be detected by AV software. I speak from experience because I have managed to get quite a few of these little nasties in the past couple of years

You do not need to buy until the trial runs out.

Once you buy it that is it.. you own that version and can keep using it. I used one version for three years. 

If you like the product and feel it has helped you and will help you keep your system running better then do consider it. 

I purchased it... and do not regret it.. 

Yes, you can download it again onto any new computer. It is yours... they will email you a copy of the key to unlock it.. save that email.. or print it out.. use that key to unlock it again.. If you forget that key email them and they will email you an copy.
