[QUOTE="h14nha, post: 1745644, member: 59490"] I was using AVG and was always having trouble with rogue viruses, I removed all protection from my laptop and now rely on Windows to alert me to potential problems. If I get a warning about any page I attempt to load I navigate away from it. I can switch my laptop on from standby and be on line within 40 seconds. I have my settings to delete any cookies and browsing history every 24hrs, and have had no problems since I deleted Norton and AVG off about a year ago. Previous to this I was having nightmares regularly losing all my stuff because I was too lazy to back anything up. Now I'm not saying there's any conspiricy by these software manufacturers but.......... Ian [/QUOTE]
