Oh dear STRESS !!!!,
....and a big thankyou to all that responded ! My totally inadequate initial
post was because I had the owner of the thing hovering over me, and I
couldn't think !
Besides being rusty with dual boot, and having to keep looking things up, he
kept asking questions about EVERYTHING, while understanding next to NOTHING,
and while halfway through answering a question which I am always sure is
being explained by me in perfectly understandable laymans terms, HE ASKS
ANOTHER ONE ! ...I always feel like saying, "...you didn't bother to listen
to the last answer I was hafway through with ... !!!!! "
....anyway he had to go, and let his dog out, (in a village on the other side
of the town nearest to my village), so I've had some peace and quite since,
and it's nearly all finished ! He had "saristar"
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/dialer.saristar.html
malware / dialler in it and lots of other nasty things, ...cleaned all that
up, installed him Zonealarm Internet Security Suite 15 day free trial,
updated it, and told him he'll have to pay for it, and that it's worth every
penny, did a full a/v / mal /ware sweep, am in the middle of a boot-time
defrag now
regards, Richard
