I use a LAN connection 24/7 with Mcaffee firewall, AVG antivirus, and a freebie of Regscrub, yet I still get these annoying adverts telling me that my computer is corrupted by some stupid advert, I usually ignore them, but how many fresh comp users will accept them as true just to download without their consent, The protection is the knowledge you hold and this is the best site that anybody can understand in plain English, Thanx 2 all on site. espescially Owen. you have taught me loads, keep up the good work. Not forgetting BlondeBlue, your advice has kept me out of some serious scrapes Thanx, xxx

Thankyou very much waring! :D

make an effort to help people whenever I can.9 September, 2005 at 7:25 am #136524No worries waring, you`re welcome. 8)
