Re Virus I had a nasty one that basically hijacked the lappy yesterday, pretends to be Windows 7 anti spyware and says that your computer is hijacked by trojans and keyloggers, will not let you access the internet looks very real, fortunately I realised that it was fake and managed to remove it. Malwarebytes-Antimalware is the key, i already had it so was able to right click it and press start and it got rid of the blasted thing.
Instructions here and what the virus looks like;

I'm waaaay less than halfway to sorting out my carp, but I can see light at the end of the tunnel (and floor too :T). Found the hoover:rotfl:!!
In my (slightly extended) HHC, I got Yarn Mountain (nearly) all in one place for sorting/fleabaying, unloaded WM (now hanging in sunshine), found another load (now in WM), did a much needed binbag boogie, lumped clutter (not all,mind) into groups for depositing into correct rooms and (eventual) sorting through), put all scarves, hats, winter woollies together in basket in hallway. I have a plan!
