    I think there's a strong case for using a vmware virtual pc, or some other sort of sandbox, when installing dodgy software, especially if it's your main computer.

    Agreed. I run linux on my main rig and use a win xp VM for some of the SB stuff. Also have a low spec rig I threw together from spares for the downloads, and just reclone the HDD back to the fresh install state every so often when the malware gets out of control.

    We cleared it with help and advice. Speak to someone. CAB helped us. Asking for help was the best thing we ever did.

    Fairly easy day for me today, after the daily poll and noso I did yesterday's ds, 2 rounds of sbtv and an 8sb search win (searched "Doctor Who"), just watching a couple of the videos on the home page to bring me to 90/90 then I'll be taking a break until tomorrow (unless any good offers appear on the offer walls)
    Savings: £210

    7SBs searching for my own name.

    63SBs for a 7 minute Trusted Survey.
    70SBs for a daily survey.
    163SBs for a Trusted survey.

    31SBs for one of the offers mentioned on a previous page, thanks for that.

    8SBs for miscellaneous videos.

    Thanks guys, on 342/90 now. Great day for me! Going to request another 2 x £5 Amazon today hopefully making £20 this month already - might even hold off for a £25 Paypal instead.

    That froze for me, I just went back and then it told me off for going back and I pressed the arrow and it worked. Good luck!
