... am tired of paying money to Norton when they also take money from the fucking adware bastards and when one licence doesn't cover me for all my machines. Is anyone currently using and can therefore recommend a free antivirus programme or am I living in dream land thinking that such things exist?

found out i had a lot of worms on my computer, oh the joys of downloading software from the net, everything is riddled with virii, these school kids must have something other to do other than write virii,

... everyone else calls them viruses but I admire your principled stand nonelthless - someone has to stand up for what's right and I'm just glad its never me

Well thats me been offline for the 5 hours whilst i reinstalled windows as that fucking program deleted files all over the place and then stopped my internet connection working, had to reinstall as i couldnt find the fucking problem. That will teach me to use downloaded versions of windows, have now gone back to my original disks and have upgraded step by step and now i am here.. At last. Still at least i managed to backup all my files before it happened ;-) Lesson of this. 1 Dont use hooky versions of windows as some feckers will have rewritten major chunks of it dex
