Threadjacking!

[The Legendary Shark]

Absolutely.

This thread needs to be set to music. Perhaps the Major-General's Song by Gilbert and Sullivan.

Theme tune to the Magic Roundabout, surely?

some amazing prices paid for Action Man stuff: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/may/27/action-man-star-wars-figures-sell-auction - but the bit that got my attention was:

a box which had once contained Star Wars figures, made £160.

Well, for the necessaity that is my uni course I needed a new PC that didn't lag like a MF and was less than 10 years old. So one new PC later I still need to instal some antivirus, does anyone know any good free (or at least, cheap) good quality antivirus protection software?

[The Legendary Shark]

I always used to use Comodo.

[DaveGYNWA]

AVG too.

Other ideas:

Check your online banking (if you use it) as some banks provide a 1-year free license to Kaspersky, amongst others.

Check your broadband provider too, as some of them also provide a 1-year free license.

Avast is another good free antivirus.

AVGs always done me proud. Still main thing to keep in mind - only use 1 at a time or you'll find their passive scanning blocks each other out.

[Tiplodocus]

Trustee Rapport (I think is the name).  Apparently one of the big tax payer owned banks has never had a single case of pc hacking fraud reported on a pc with that installed.

[Theblazeuk]

Rapport isn't an antivirus though, it's strictly a malware detector and it's aimed at identity protection. So useful but won't stop alot of the more basic, destructive ****storms that people have invented.

Now that I think about it computer viruses are a sorry statement on the human race.

Viz is number one and Forbidden Planet is number two, so all Tharg has to do is introduce a Top Tips section and start selling Marvel comics through the post and he could make number one:
