    DS3 says the bathroom looks like new!! I have a new bottle of stardrops and it is making everything gleam :)

    One bathroom done 2 to go. I am having a cuppa then will start again soon.

    dollydaydream How about dowloading AVG which is free and seeing if that helps? I think it then removes a virus that is found??
