What security where you using before and which one you got now ? Is it the "free AVG" or a 30 day free trial of AVG 8 ?
And which IE, 6 or 7 ?

I've got them back by downloading Firefox .

Elmer, I was using Norton but got the 30 day AVG 8 trial.

And it's IE7 (I think).

Favourites folder. Click Start -> My Computer -> C: -> Documents and settings -> your user name, they are in there. (Sorry if you already knew that !!)

I got the 30 day AVG Internet security trial but it was giving me nowt but trouble so I went for the next one down which is the Anti virus with firewall, no problems with that one.

Norton can leave some bits behind that can interfere with other programmes. I know you can d/load something to totally remove Norton, give it a googling.

Yeah you beat me on that un

Cheers Elmer.

Is that the free AVG download then?

 

[simonali]

I've got a good (easy to use) registry cleaner that would remove the last vestiges of the Norton stuff if you'd like it mailed?

 

[Elmer Fudd]

Cheers Elmer.

Is that the free AVG download then?

Yeah, it's another of the 30 day free trials here.

Ok, I'm sure I saw a completely free download just for anti virus protection from AVG (a friend recommended it). He recommended an ad ware download too (also free). Would I need any more on my PC than that? I thought yes so looked at the whole package thingy.
I'm not much cop at this stuff.
