No and I hate smokers, that is from an ex-smoker. I know I'm a bore but that is how I feel about the "stink" of stale ciggy smoke. I stopped in 1975, my doc. says when asked if I smoked to answer "never". It has just dawned on me that that is 30 years ago, wow!!. Edit: I don't hate the person only the habit.

Nice one, Steven knows all about it anyway. That happens to us all, only I think I have a good excuse, next birthday 56.

Thanks, makes a change to answer instead of asking always.

Hello VAsT, I had that problem a while back and got it fixed, problem is I can't clearly remember the fix for it. Try "Computer Management">>Services and Applications>> and check that Task Schedular is on automatic. I think that is how it goes. Let me know if correct.

Have a look around this site, I don't want infected so I didn't dig too deeply. http://www.spywareguide.com/product_list_full.php

MarkL, maybe THIS will help. It's only a shot in the dark.

Intel here.

Oh dear! Only two votes in my age group 55 - 59.

I voted "yes" with reservations. Some software is rediculously over-priced. Most of my security software is paid for because I believed the price to be reasonable, I certainly wouldn't be involved in taking specialist software for free.

English here.

I've only ever had two, Win 98 and XP Home. XP Home is my favourite.

ZA free, V4.5.594 here. No problem.

I voted Nod32 although thankfully I have little knowledge of many. My only other one was Symantec. I rarely ever have had to use either of them, luckily.

I ticked 8 to 10 hours per day, sometimes it could be more. It is a life line for me, I have a disablement and it fills the time perfectly. I should have had it years ago, given I am out of work since 1983.

Thanks for the welcome, prathapml.

Hello to (now) fellow members of MSFN, I don't know if you go under another name or not. I live in Northern Ireland, land of saints and scholars and Lord knows who else. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all, good and bad alike. That's about it, hi! to everyone.
