It's likely the current bad guy making the rounds. See these websites for
info and fixes. When you go to see your friend, you will want to take some
spyware removers with you.

Spot on!

That was exactly the problem. Have now removed Blazefind, and done a
thorough clearout with the spyware removers.

All systems functioning normally, and my friend is very impressed!!!

Thanks again.
