PC is still badly busted. All AV and malware checks say it's clean, but
something is running that shouldn't, and downloading all sorts of random crap continuously.
Attempts to start again with a clean install of Windows 7 have merely opened a whole new can of worms. Like just how impossibly flaky Win 7 is to install in the first place.
Come back XP, there was nothing to forgive.....It's been a week of two steps forward, three steps back. So, I'm now using the ancient laptop to have a go at this challenge. Only just downloaded it today. Late start, but hey.......
Good to see so many folk involved again.
