    Hi

    Apologies in advance unfortunately I'm not any kind of expert on computers so if I don't follow your replies exactly or ask silly questions I am sorry, please have patience.

    A few days back I tried to use google and got a message that my network was linked to automated replies and was stopped from using their browser. I was eventually presented with captcha which allowed me to browse once I filled it in. I was initially suspicious and logged on using IE and decided to check if it was genuine. Far as I could tell it was.

    After this it kept appearing everytime I logged on so I ran Malwarebytes and for the hell of it CCcleaner. My virus protection is McAfee and up to date. As far as that goes nothing reported back, all clear. I only recently got a guy to put in WIFI router for the house. I live in the sticks, nearest house is too far for them to get my signal I think and my password is sound enough.

    I bought my GF a Samsung Tablet for browsing at Xmas. She uses a freebie virus protection called Lookout. She got the same message obviously, so I suspect the issue is on her device being used as bot. I had an issue a few weeks back trying to log onto my network it was slow and I couldnt get on. The ISP said I had no issues funny enough then I went on holidays and when I came back this started happening. As I never use the tablet I just was wondering if I can run the same malwarebytes on it. I have seen mixed reports on google play. Am I approaching this the right way? I suspect I should get proper virus protection for it I have started checking this out this evening.

    Any advice or experience people have would be much appreciated.
