Thanks all 
Edit: much better... I added NoScript (though I have no idea what all the options mean, I suspect I will find out when something doesn't happen that used to happen)
I added the tabs thing.
and there is an option to disable McAfee, so I did that and I no longer get the messages.
Edit 2... it seems NoScript has also stopped those weird advert links too (the ones which highlight specific words like a hyperlink, except in green)
And when I close a tab It sends me back to the last tab I was on, which is nice, It annoyed me that IE7 always displayed the next tab along.

Edit 3... ah, it seems the VGC tabs don't work anymore (when I roll over Chartz it does not show the other options)
Should I disable NoScript for VGC or is that dangerous given the history of the site? (although I personally have never got a virus from here)
