Maddy wot op system are you using.....?XP? 2000?
Everyone regardless of firewall and anti virus is technically at risk when you use the internet. The only way to keep ya computer safe is to pack it away in a box and hope damp doesn't get it lol.
There are free anti virus software programmes available to download, try pc world site or google avg free anti virus, make sure its the FREE Version. Everyone needs an antivirus and firewall .Windows xp has a built in firewall, but make sure you get your updates regular.
There was an option in our older programmes where you could create a start up disc, so can you tell us wot system you are on is it windows 98 by any chance?

There's no apostrophe ( that's one of these ' ) in charlatans, if you are using it in the plural.

I had the Norton anti virus included with my comp when I bought it and had nothing but crashes ending up with the dreaded blue screen. I also had what was called PC Protect for which you have to pay monthly, when my problems started I rang them and got nothing, all they wanted to do is talk me through it over the phone, for me a big no no, so I sent for a young man who advertises om this site, he sorted my computer in no time uninstalled Norton and installed the Grisoft 7.5 AVG virus freeware, result up and running, no problems and all messages, checked and sorted, and by the way I got rid of the PC protect.
