    Here's some free advice.

    If you don't have any anti-virus software on your machine I'd highly recommend installing Microsoft Security Essentials. It's free and it works. (I've had it installed for the last year and a bit and no problems).

    What were the "other basics"? I'm sure we can point you in the right direction.

    I'm guessing you screen resolution is set to something like 800 * 600 which means you can't see all the webpage. Right click your desktop and cllick Properties. Select the Settings tab and change the resolution to something like 1024 * 768. (This is for Windows XP)
