(I’ll be adding to it a little later to tell you wot’s ‘appened. (Thanks to Speedy, WainT,PCTec)).

I've decided to try the above since it crops up in a lot of peoples' signatures and I think Windows firewall is a bit iffy.
The question is should I install their AV module as well when I'm already using Avast Home, MalwareBytes, Spybot, Spyware terminator, Super Antispyware and AShampoo Antispyware? Yep, I know all that seems a bit paranoid but they do turn up different things!

Thanks

750149 2009-02-22 02:39:00 If you've already got an AV, stick with Avast!
You should only have one AV on your machine.

TBH Comodo AV doesn't seem that good anyways

Otherwise it'll install

750151 2009-02-22 03:38:00 Also when you get to This window (www.imagef1.net.nz) - I suggest you UNTICK all the boxes - one of those Ask.com is being picked up by lots of antispyware as an infection, Ask.com denies its spyware, but better to be safe than sorry. wainuitech (129)
750152 2009-02-22 04:55:00 Thanks for the advice folks - it's what I'd suspected. Speedy - I always do a custom install and WainT the timely reminder about Ask.Com was great. I'd read it but forgotten about it...

So thanks everyone
