Excellent, I should be more savvy to these things, God knows what I could have recouped money on over the years! I shall now await my reply from Tesco's and then hit them with that if they give me any nonsense!

The 01992 is Head Office number, there won't be anyone there til Monday now as they only work Mon-Fri office hours.

The 0845 number should be staffed till 8pm tonight. I phoned that number, it's on your order copy, at 10.30 last night and got an answer. i also got an answer to my email tooday, offering me £15. Glad I phoned yesterday instead.

:)Hello, Would it be possible for some kind knowledgeable person to make a list of all that can be taken off these acer netbooks eg the norton, mcafee so that the not so knowledgeable people like me can systematically uninstall the ones that take up room without worrying they re taking off something they shouldn t be. Thank you

I would like that too.
(By the way, if you remove McAffee you need to install another antivirus such as Avast, of course.)

Did you take off all the bloatware? Such as the Norton and mcAfee trials etc? Those tend to slow the machine down a lot. I don't think it's Win 7 that's the problem tbh.

I removed Norton, McAffee and games, installad free Avast instead and Chrome browser. Chrome is faster indeed!! but I am sure I read recently that there was this comparison and either Safari or Opera was fastest.

Ooh thanks for this. Er..how do you get rid of them, just delete them?

and I have already activated the 60 day free trial of McAfee, can I just delete this or am I stuck with it until it expires. Sorry, so many questions.

From the start menu go into the control panel(right hand list) then click on "programs, uninstall a program" and do it through that.
