Thanks, I think I’m in the clear. Roadworks just bit into a BT junction box 400 yards from my gaff, so I’ve been without a phone line + sporadic broadband since last Friday :-o but apart from that the computer seems to be behaving itself at the moment.

This is my workhorse so will upgrade from Free to Pro when the dust has settled, but Avast subscriptions have always foxed me - the bit where they send you a file you have to run is where it all unravels for me - why not just enable the antivirus download when you pay at the site, why the added hurdle or receiving an email + attachment? Never mind though.

Best thanks for your help [thumbs up!]
