I've saved the file from that link on my memory stick, going to try installing it in safe mode after I uninstall all the 'junk' programs
I've told him if he isn't prepared to look after his PC I'm not doing this again!! I've had to do it 2/3 times already and it's a different problem each time, luckily those times I could use malware and sorted the problem

Also, which netbook?0 -

Ok, I'm off. If it all gets too much, back up his important data, reboot and hit F4 to enter the Recovery partition and run a Factory Restore.
