It's actually £29 p.a which I don't think is too bad.

This put me off somewhat, so, if you go ahead, let me know what you did and how it turned out .....
Erm..... think I'll give it a miss now thanks Omah

This is a nasty virus which sends much of your data back to a baddie website.

The latest level of Malwarebytes spots this and fixes it.

It spotted it on my 64 bit machine as the 32 bit update was there even though my 64 bit pc would not use it.

If you use Ccleaner you might want to search on Trojan.Floxif

Or look at this link:-

Just bounced this back up from last October - as there is a new posting just arrived on this forum.

Just out of interest, and as I have said elsewhere, I have given some thought to buying a Mac next time (several years, I hope) as I am fed up with Microsoft's dictatorial attitude.

I have been looking for Mac laptops to replace my Windows one with a 17" screen, but I have not seen any with a screen of that size. If I should find one, though, I would probably be shocked at the asking price.
