    I meant Safari. And he's a she, very nice. Maybe I'll say she needs to come round so I can fix it for her.

    as above and very much doubt it and the iPAD ships with Safari unless he downloaded Opera, are those opera people still out there?

    And get her to choose a sensible password that isn't open to dictionary attack.

    This. It's noting to do with the iPad. She needs to change the password on her account pronto.

I suggested she needed to download a virus checker but she said she had a problem installing one which does not sound good either.

    No expert on viruses, let alone iPad ones, so any ideas. Has she got a problem?
