    I will second this one. Been using it for a few years now after the Panda software I was using failed to pick something up and I lost my PC. Never had any problems with Avast and I have two kids and a 'less than computer literate' wife on the internet all the time.
    Gets my vote too.

    Many thanks all for your help with this! I ran a whole bunch of the downloads that people suggested,some didn't find anything new but one or two seemed to find loads that the others missed. In the end I think the Avast, malwarebytes and Stinger got the nasty dealt with

    I'm just glad that forums such as this are so heavily frequented by computer geeks! :biggthump I was having a bad week as it was before the computer went balls up. By Friday morning I had lost two days work due to my car being in the garage (mostly electical issues!), then the computer and nothing that I had tried to that point was workiing. I was going spare trying to get a microsoft sweeper thing to work, then the garage called to say that it would be a couple more days and another £100+ due to the wrong connectors on the part. At that point I had a minor meltdown, borrowed my housemate's car and headed to the workshop to get something constructive done! After a day and a half I was ready to come home and have another try with the blessed machine.

    Thanksully it is all now sorted, I hope.

    So once again, thankyou all for your techy knowhow
