AVG free has always been grand for me.

Malware bytes should be downloaded and spybot. Run them every once in a while.

I'm back in business. Did an old system restore, rebooted modem and router and I'm back online.

Cheers.

Thanks for wasting everyones time.
Screw you. Was BK after you earlier? Jokeman was ringing to say thanks for the prize.

What is the best anti-virus, protector against malware, Internet security application out there? Any of these freebies like avast any good?

Avast is very good....its also a lot less memory intensive than AVG.

i'm having some trouble with my laptop at the minute.  It constantly loses connection to our home WIFI.  There is def nothing wrong with the WIFI as other devices run ok.  The laptop connects for a while then says there are no networks available.  I try to diagnose the problem and it says it cannot find a problem?  When the laptop is charging it cannot connect at all.  any suggestions?

Something is up with my browsers these days.

Firefox is constantly crashing on me for some reason. Same happens though if I use Safari or IE too.

I downloaded Chrome but it isn't loading pages.

When I open Firefox I can only really go on Facebook, if I go on any other site it crashes.

Though sometimes, like now, if I disconnect my external hard drives and close a lot of other running programs it lets me in?

I dunno what's wrong with it. Think it could be time for a new laptop.

Try downloading your browser again (chrome, IE explorer) and do a reinstall and see if that helps.

Check your volume settings for IE. What OS are you ising? Windows 7? It would have a volume control for each application, so the one for your browser may be turned down.

Did you try sticking in a cable, instead of using wireless?

My   laptop         is          running like a dog            today. A very                slow dog, with       three legs,              pulling a sleigh, on grass, not              a greyhound.

If I find any of you have               infected my laptop with                some beastly thing, then I will                 seriously kick your shit in.
