=====================
I got a call to look at my Brothers HP Win7 PC.

1. At the bottom Status Bar of IE8 it says Protected Mode=OFF

I checked Tools - Internet Options - Security Tab and saw the Check Box
for Protected Mode was checked already for the Internet setting.

I looked at IE8 on my XP box and I don't see anything about Protected
Mode at all.

I checked Tools - Internet Options - Security Tab and there wasn't
anything about Protected Mode on my copy of IE8.

I use DSL and my Brother uses Cable Broadband.

I may be mistaken on the word 'Protected', the word on His Status Bar
may have been 'Proformance', I can't remember.

2. After his computer has been on for say about an hour, a Commercial
about getting an AT&T Phone starts coming in over His Speakers.

IIRC IE8 doesn't have to be running when this happens.

Our Sister was over at His house yesterday and told me those things have
been going on, on His computer for a couple of months and it gets
frustrating when She or He is playing a Game and that Audio starts up.

3. A Game Pop Up comes on the screen when the computer is turned on.

I tried all I could think to do Except Click on the Continue Button.

When I click on the X in the upper right corner, the program then has an
offer to Play Free Games or to Take A Survey.

I took the Survey and told them Their Popup Program Wasn't Appreciated
On The Computer.

After a Re-Boot the Game offer is still there.

I checked Control Panel - Programs and didn't see anything that looked
like it was put on by the Game provider.

Any One have any ideas to help me supply my Brother with Tech Support?

TIA!
