    Kaspersky is one of the best AV programs around, good choice.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • well thanks for your help in setting up my new desktop pc, the whole thing looks different.. in a good way but

    i dont know where 'my favourites' are now

    when i used to go on aol homepage before ( they are my service provider) i used to click on the right hand side and all my favourites were there..

    at the moment i am getting on aol through internet explorer, should i download aol again??

    No need. The favourites files are saved on your old PC, so you need either to add them again, or use the MS file transfer tool. You can use any browser you want.

    Please don't install AOL, you simply don't need to use their awful clunky software to get online.
    In fact why not ditch your old ISP and get a decent one to go with your new PC?

    Try this version then for USB transfer. You need to click on 'Which transfer method should I use' and see the third option. It's actually very easy to use.
