Is there a problem with the forum?

I am having great problems posting replies and getting into the different forums. I am surprised at this because there are roughly only about 60 nations logged into the forum and when I have been on at other times there has been over 150 nations and no problem whatsoever.
Just a general curiosity.

It's working perfectly fine now. BTW, I'm not very computer-literate, so what is a Trojan?

Although I doubt it's a trojan, you may want to scan your computer with whatever anti-virus software you have, just incase.
Trojan Horse
A program that neither replicates nor copies itself, but causes damage or compromises the security of the computer. Typically, an individual emails a Trojan Horse to you-it does not email itself-and it may arrive in the form of a joke program or software of some sort.
If you are reciving spam email, or don't know the sender of an email, do not open any attachments on the email. It may contain a program made to damage your computer.

Not quite true...
A Trojan is a program which masquerades as something it isn't...

Hmm, my internet home page has been changed, but that's all. I have not opened any e-mails from people I don't know.

It was indeed a trojan. Infact, I had two trojans but they ahve now been dealt with and deleted by my anti-virus software.
