Hello
I've just today moved into my new house in Bath. I am using the existing internet service set up by the previous inhabitants, a Virgin media service. I can log-on fine, and use the internet (obviously), but I am told it has not yet validated me, and i am a bit worried and confused how to do this. Can somebody help me with this matter please?
Yours Faithfully
David

What is saying it hasn't validated you?

Not sure how Virgin Media could push a pop up balloon like that to your computer.
Is it coming from windows or your browser?
Sure its not windows saying you haven't validated it yet?

Sounds like the windows validation balloon possibly. Have you a dodgy copy of your OS, or have you done a windows update recently.
You can uninstall it via the control panel.

That message is for your wireless LAN.
Might mean the settings are wrong, or security isn't set at the highest level. Something like that.
Are you using a new router? Is it set up correctly?
