    Thanks for the advice. I'll have another go later in the week.
  • Carefull with pctradestore. They give you a free Trojan when you go to their home page

    Was sceptical of this statement until I went myself to the homepage and NOD32 threw a wobbler at it.

    Oh they do, but it was completely my own fault in going to such an obvious virus infested site (practically virusesRus.com isn't it?) and deliberately and actively downloading them. ;)

    Too apprehensive to visit the site now. :) I didn't get an alert. Maybe I should install a better antivirus.

    Could be a false positive but who knows, I've let NOD32 submit the file to Eset. What AV are you using? (At least I know you well enough to know it isn't AVG :))

    I'm evaluating the Zone Alarm Internet Suite. Have NOD32 on the laptop.

    That explains it then, as I did have in my mind that you were a NOD32 user (Noddy?).

  • I've just tried again. Talk Talk wireless won't work with ME. Spoke to technical services and they have said she needs to upgrade her operating system. The galling thing is that when an enquiry was made with Talk Talk sales before the order was completed, they said wireless would work with ME. Thanks anyway for the advice offered.
