Someone doesn't like Windows. by Peace_man2009-02-03 11:36:53
  Someone needs some basic computer use education. by AndyA 2009-02-03 11:59:33
"my PC suddenly launched Firefox and displayed an advert. I have no idea what the ad was about. It featured a scantily clad Chinese lady and a lot of Chinese ideograms. I clicked on a link and got even more Chinese script."

To me that reads like he clicked on a link a window that had just popped up. In that particular instance it may not have had any nasty effects but if that is typical of how he uses the computer I'm not surprised he has problems.

OK so technically this is still a windows problem, the OS should still not let nasty things happen but given we are stuck with such a flawed tool a little bit of caution on the part of the users seems prudent.
