Cheers, I got a lot of info off your site the other day, worried though that
I might clutter my system up if I install too much.
So far I ran the sysclean from trend, installed the Avira antivurus and
dl'ed but not yet installed Zonealarm. Add to that Windows firewall and
Windows defender (unless you can reccomend a way round them) and I feel like
I've got a decent selection of tools.
One question, with the avira setup I get some messages sayign virus detected
but not sure what to do with them, the default was access deny so I did
that, some were in an old Norton folder, one looked like a BT dialler of
some form. What;s the best thing to do on detection, cheers, your site is
great for non-techies like me.
