Good Morning
Clearly you were right.

I have reformatted reinstalled etc. I have also installed Avira and did a scan with the bundled norton disabled. I then removed norton using the above tool. I have done nothing else. Reinstalled my router of course or I would not be here.

I am now using IE6. I have not done any critical updates as yet. To the extent that the poor Irish broadband allows I having no problems at all.

The following are things that I must do and safely.
1. Reinstall Office direct from original discs.
2. Put the bulk of my documents back into the Computer. They are now on portable hard drive.
3. Set up Outlook express and import old email from portable HD.

There are no malware programs installed. I have the .exe files on portable but do know whether I should use them or download fresh if at all.

Should I allow updates which I assume will include IE7 and SP3?
