Apart from anything else, I find I think long and hard about installing any software after! Thanks for that Kirk, though there is nothing so thorough as a good spring clean.

I shall make use of it then. BTW, for keeping your Windows install nice and clean I recommend CCleaner (of course) for the basic garbage left lying around on a daily basis and "Revo Uninstaller" for making sure that when you remove a program it removes everything not just some of it. It's freeware and works like a charm. Ah, good. I shall make use of it then.

This in turn led to a lot of crud lying around - hence the reinstall. You can't beat a lean machine! 'Subscribe' seems to have been a casualty of the server move. It's back up. ;) The near disaster today was caused by removing a load of stuff that was no longer needed for the business. This in turn led to a lot of crud lying around – hence the reinstall.

‘Subscribe’ seems to have been a casualty of the server move. It’s back up. ;)

(some anonymous wise guy said that I suppose). Be that as it way, I've been using Avast! for over two years now since giving up on Panda Security Suite which used to do a fine job but became more bloated with each new version. Now I have my "never update/never change my software...ever!" wife using it also. Amazing how much faster her PC runs and how fast the Innerweb has become. Ummm, is there a "Subscribe to Comments" check box around here somewhere or am I missing the obvious? A wise man knows what tools need to be used for the job at hand.

Doesn't it] the very first thing I do is strip off whatever damned antivirus package they have lumbered me with. I used to use AVG but had a couple of problems with that. Leastwise, I have no complaints about Avast. Yet. Every time I buy a new latop/PC [sounds good?
