They had no further evidence, other than the flecks of wool on his mac.  :)x

I've been happily using F-Secure for some time but around a week ago it asked me to download an important update which would enhance security and require a restart.  For a week I refused to do so telling it to remind me later.  Today when I turned on my computer a "Windows Download" automatic updates began even though I had this feature turned off.  Upon checking it seems to have switched itself on all by itself!  There was an automatic reboot afterwards after which I began getting an irritating F-Secure message  of  "System Modification attempt to the Registry" warning every time I opened a new webpage.  I could "trust it" or "disallow it".  I then noticed that F-Secure is set to Custom security instead of Normal but ot will not let me change back to normal.  I can scan for malware but I cannot update my virus database - it just won't let me.  My license has another3 months to run so I'm hardly out of compliance.   :dunno:  It's all very strange!

The offending message appeared again this morning but this time I allowed it to do its worst and download the update.  Seems to have worked ok for me with no problems.  Much better interface now.

Ah, that would be what I sent you, but you didn't want to install.  :)
