Two ants on computer screen

[Nathaniel]

Hi! Not a major problem but I haave just noticed two small black ants on my computer screen when I go into the forum (EOS Mag) section. I do not know how they got in but how do I get rid of them? Any ideas?

Hi Nathaniel. Are those ants real or have you picked up a virus?

Nathaniel after checking on the net it sounds like you have indeed picked up a computer virus or malware. I would scan your computer with anti-virus software soon as.
Good Luck

Hi Nathaniel, if you don't want to see animations you can turn off animated images in your browser config.
IN IE8 its just a case of un- checking a tick box. under tools - internet options - advanced tab.

Uncheck the box that says "play animations in webpages".

Do you realise that ANT is an anagram of NAT ? just an observation

Exactly! Thats what I have but I note that if I put the cursor on the ant and click, then it stays still!!! I don't think they do any harm. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, I reliased that a long time ago Stephen!! However, I was called the "stinging Gnat" because of my work as an "Auditor"!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your humour in these days of political correctness. I am now, with hindsight, glad that I have retired as I couldn't face the current clap trap re PC etc etc etc.

Nathaniel that is not an ant it is in reality a video taken from the air of someone from here running around looking for something to photograph in the winter snow.
