    I don't. NOD32 comes up with a big red box in the middle of the screen when a dodgy website tries to infect my PC and it terminates the connections to that website. Something that non of the free ones do. The paid versions of some of the free ones do this but not the free version.

    Just a point of accuracy, Connor - I'm running the free version of avast ... it's online scanning DOES identify when a dodgy website tries to infect the pc, AND gives me the option of terminating that connection before any damage is done. (Avast 4.8 Home Edition)

  • Currently working through the log - what Anti Virus software are you running?

    what firewall, antispyware etc...
  • As I said I'm a bit confused as I don't often use this computer and OH is now at work! I thought it was Avast but that's on my laptop and it's AVG on the desktop. I think he must be using AVG free and AVG anti-spyware and the windows firewall. There has been other stuff on in the past but it's not used now. McAfee apparently came with the system for a year when we bought it and I thought it was long gone!
  • Still going through the log.

    It would appear that there is AVG7 and leftovers of McAffe. I will dig out some of them tools in a minute for you.

    Do you have problems updating windows?
  • do you know what these are;

  • Not as far as I know - we've been away for nearly a month and about 13 updates came through at once when we got home last week - I just assumed they'd backed up whilst we'd been away!
