Fortunatley was able to back up all documents prior to re-installing so not too much pain involved. Lesson learnt be careful what you download.

Zigs, no I mean taking pictures from the web. Scrungee, I've not used that before so will give it a go, thanks.

Thanks, clueless

If you want to printscreen just the box/window you have open you can use Alt (bottom left of keyboard) in conjuction with PRTSCN.

Sounds a bit bit like a certain Sgt Briggs who was my Drill Instructor when I was an Apprentice in the rif raf.

Well I know where that button is, BUT ... if you find any Chrome Apps/Extensions that you like would you let me know please as I haven't bothered to try to find any bar some that chums have suggested? I have: Adblock Plus ... ermm ... it Blocks Ads Session Buddy - makes a stored list...

Yep Vicky xx,everybody got dodgy e-mails from me......as you know I was hacked,but only in a small way.......... SH*T happens......we get over it. Hi Paula too xx.

Had an Email this morning purporting to be from Amazon, very professional and looked very authentic. It offered a £50 Voucher as we are good customers. Contacted Amazon who agreed that is was a SCAM. So if you get one, report it to Do not follow any of the links contained in the Email.

IE has improved of late, but I stopped using it as my primary browser a year or two back. I used Firefox for a bit because of the availably add-on software development tools, but then moved to Google Chrome as it was much quicker, crashed much less often than Firefox, and I like the tight...

Thanks Java, I'll have a look at that later.

Ebay introduced 12 free pics on 1st August.

No such luck Clueless! She must have most of her email addresses stored elsewhere as there were only a few family ones listed. That's how I found out what the problem was, I tried to send an email to my other half and it came up listed as dad. Right now my daughter is having a battle over...
