Bullguard came up with this when I tried to access the web page.

I loved my Amiga 1200 and would have enjoyed the memories but

Difficult to say, Den, but nothing came up with Kaspersky. 

[Clive]

I had it from a well respected site that vets every individual post so I think it's likely to be very safe Den.   Kaspersky eh Simon?  Anything you wish to confess?

F-Secure and iTunes weren't getting on well together on my machine, Clive, so I ended up having to switch, but hopefully only for a year. 

[Rodders]

I'm afraid that after a couple of years of relatively problem-free use, I finally had to give F-Secure the heave-ho when its crappy excuse for a firewall suddenly monopolised my Win7x64 8GB laptop's T9300 CPU to the exclusion of everything else.

Apple's loathesome iTunes was actually just the tip of a very large iceberg, so I was delighted to hear recently that F-Secure now rely on Windows' firewall rather than their own.  However, this wasn't in time to prevent me jumping ship, just in case it tried to cancel my weekly trips to the supermarket before attempting to inspect my underwear for anything resembling an unsightly stain.

Just for the record, my current panoply includes MS Security Essentials, Malwarebytes Anti-malware Pro, Winpatrol Plus, and SpywareBlaster - which peacefully co-exist in perfect harmony and, perhaps more importantly, seem to work quite well and I commend them to the house.

Thus, provided I can resist the temptation to visit the websites of scantily-clad foreign ladies with big hoo-ha's who completely b*gger up your browsing by making your keyboard all sticky, I shall return interfrastically.

So, presumably, the version of Windows Firewall in Win7x64 is better than the half measure included in XP?  If F-Secure are reliant on Windows firewall, this suggests their abandonment of support for XP, as it wouldn't really provide full protection.  Yes, I know, I should upgrade...

Hey, Simon, say hello to the 21st Century.   We've got eBay and everything...     

[Rodders]

Go on, be brave.  Do Windows 8.  You know you want it.   

[Simon]

I'd do Windows 7, given a newer machine, but not sure about 8.  Those tiles...    

[Rodders]

Research the Tile alternatives.

And by the way...  I wrote an absolute *TON* of music for the Amiga and still have a few bits and and pieces on (880k) floppies.  So what are my chances of actually becoming a star do you suppose?

A.  B*gger all.

B.  Effoff

C.  We are the Giant Toffee Spoon people. We hate the Amiga.
