If removed in add/remove as the first step it invariably needs winsock done as well, not always but in most cases. Sorry Metla but that wasnt needed... On goes the Mod hat & you receive 24 hours.... Do not pass Go, Do not collect $200 ;)	Metla (12)

It's also been pretty well chronicaled as to how Windows became and remains clearly at number one in the desktop OS market . As mentioned above, many of the difficulties we have with Windows are caused by spyware and adware, but less well known is that this malware is produced and distributed by, so called, legitimate companies in the name of marketing . And the vast majority don't reside in countries commonly known for blind officials and blinder politicians but come from the land of the free . The people that perpetrate malware operate in the same environment and are not too different from the ones that sue their customers and sell them DRM and Trusted Computing . It's a right old mess isn't it . You'd have to think that we'd be ditching our computers and running for the hills soon so the bad guys don't get us . :@@: I tell you what, I'll look after your kit will your up there :rolleyes:	Murray P (44)

You all know the rules ... so this thread is now locked. Pity it gets ruined for those who can debate heartily without adding personal snipes.	Jen (38)
