    Best free internet security??

    I live in a 1930th house. Some years ago I noticed a light brown line under the rsj towards the bay window in the lounge. Over time the line has become even lighter. Last week I noticed the line under the rsj in the kitchen. The extension was built 7 years ago. Near the line the paint had been...
