Installed Firefox, Avast, Malwarebytes & Windows Firewall is on, auto update on & virus protection on.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed today, just one other thing about the netbook ref charging the battery. Is it best to run it right down or can you charge it as & when you want?

I always run my NC10 down untill it asks to be recharged.

For me, I let my laptop(s) batteries 'die', say, once a week.

just remember with security there is no better security than yourself and sensible browsing,

no antivirus is 100% effective and when you consider there are well over 1 million windows virus's/malware etc in the wild even a virus scanner with a 99.9% detection rate can still let over 1000 virus's get passed
