    my last post went! it keeps logging me out, damn thing. yes, done that, it's gone. was it something I did? ran spybot and avg earlier on safemode. btw, should I run avg manually - it pops up each day on its own anyway?

    well, i'll try that post for for third time - keep getting logged out. the thing's gone now, was it something I did? ;) ran spybot/avg earlier on safemode - should I be running avg manually regularly? it pops up each day anyway doing something. phew, will go and get some work done now - argghh!

    thanks again for being SO patient! do you do this for a living?

    ah, one of the missing posts has returned!

    I've just run the AVG antispy and a list of threats came up, including Drivecleaner. It let me eliminate all the threats, but on Drivecleaner the message said 'ignore once', does that mean if I run it again it will be removed?

    Also, when I update Spybot I'm asked to choose which updates I want - I havent a clue, should I ask for the lot?

    Cheers

    Hi

    I've run avg again and the message is still there 'ignore once' - what does this mean? Have I still got this malware or whatever it is ?

    Can someone advise please?

    I'm sure the AVG thing is not a problem
