I am not computer savvy whatsoever. I like to plug and go. At moment I have Xp which has microsoft security and AVG 8.5 along with spybot and a few cleaners. Yesterday when I logged on AVG was switched off same this morning and opening emails is slow. I updated and it seems ok for now. it said something about updating to premium free when I upfdated but I didnt bother.
However my chap has a Dell Inspiron1525 windows vista home premiumlaptop and he had a few different security things on. Avast was one of them along with Malwarebyte, Spywareblaster,Adware. Superantispyware, windows defender, Asquared free. Now he cannot get onto internet and something comes up Error bosInit Library- initialisation of basic library failed! check out INI file or install program again please Error 10107 stopped his avast and everything working. When he clicks on check security status everything is turned off and wont go back on and windows wont turn firewalls back on. Backup discs wont get it back tomanufacturer settings comes up with another error. Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
