    Really I agree it isnt a grabbit either, but seems others are having issues so see it as important to others

    Perhaps you like the whole forums cluttered up with none grabbits, personnel I hardly get grabbits here I use hotukdeals for that :)

    I dont find this subject interesting at all tbh I don't have any issues but don't want other to gets issues. I am careful what I have on pc and have good security

    I see you contributed nothing, at least I was trying to help folks.

    I have the paid for version of AVG, (it got me Ipoints before anyone posts the slap-head smiley!) I have yet to get it to find a virus- either I am very careful, very lucky or just not found a virus as yet. It has been about 9 months, and aside from certain programmes running slower (which I am now used to-almost!) I don't see reason for any virus protection (wont stop me having one though). I run a full scan once a day and at worst, every other day.

    No problems here either.

    Also, if you haven't got virus protection, you really shouldn't be online. AVG (anti virus) is free, as is Ad-Aware (Spyware/malware).

    Rubber up, people! :D

    It also acts as a barrier which is more important.

    Hi folks,

    The hackers had another bash at the site last night - sadly its one of those things, again for a short time we believe something may've been placed on the site but is now cleared.

    Sorry
