I offer help feely and put as simply and fiendly as possible because the experience of anyone reading what I say is unknown. What it says. Naebothernoo may be relying on a software firewall alone. There may be practical difficulites I am unaware of. I agree NAT hides a computer from the...

??? AVG is antivirus ... naebothernoo asked about a firewall!! :wink: Yes, you should get a hardware firewall, if you can, and a software one. Some software firewalls here for you to consider (do not use the windows built in firewall) ...... Zone Alarm >...

Norton Internet Security (your comment in post #1) is antivirus AND firewall. You now say you are using Avast. That's AV alone. What have you done about getting yourself a firewall?

Thanks guys. Hilarious! Gave me grin this morniing. Just what I need right now. I'll definitely be saving some of these posts. Glad it's going well, Bob. Have fun. By the way .... this is a very famous poem in someone's first attempt at VRS. You'll get it ...

You have a link to the product now (thanks systemtek) and, no, I don't use it to dictate posts directly into forums. I'm not dictating this one, for instance. However, if I'm asked to fix a nasty malware infection problem, perhaps requiring several stages, then I would probably draft my...

I wish. I have to write long reports, from time to time, and my typing is dreadful. I find trying to "type and think" simultaneously very difficult. Before you say it ... no I can't afford a secretary/typist! Yes, VRS programs are not infallible but they more you use them the better they...

hermes ... glad you nailed it but just "ticking & fixing" with HJT isn't usually the complete answer. Fixing with HJT won't remove the offending files/folders. You must make sure you manually delete any malware files/folders related to the items you fixed in HJT. Did you do that? If not...

Panda can be awkward to use and difficult to uninstall, to say the least, if that's what you want to do. As for free programs etc., yes, perhaps they may not be as good as "paid"versions in some instances but that's not so with the programs I use. The free ones I use are good enough for me...

OK toasty ... thanks. I'll pass the message back to my brother who gave me the warning. He's quite high in Royal Mail so he'd be interested to hear. PCH
