Hi Magnus!

yes good now for Firefox and IE and Chrome NO MORE CONDUIT THANK YOU!!!

and I guess I now seem to have the Avast REPUTATION popping up at download times …which is new to me.

Also - I may need to speak to support for Avast due to last week Avast Internet Security which is my version (paid) it updated/upgraded itself automatically to a whole new interface and then my computer would not work properly at all …
so I had to RESTORE POINT to earlier known good config…so I am now using the old version of Avast (it reverted)

Do you know anyone else with this issue and I dread having to use restore point if it updates when I renew my subscription?

One last question - my Internet IE9 will ABSOLUTELY NOT WORK - blank screen for tabs - it worked for one or two days last week after a long time not working at all but again not working - is it Avast security related at all??

Thanks for all your help and to Polonus also!

Hope I am clean now!
