I managed to get on window critical up date and a up date for xp was found be it failed to up load (three times)

I remember now this all happened 10 day shy of a year ago because I bought bullgard then I had a new hard drive because the old one failed and had to be replaced.

50% of the dater was retrieved and put in a folder on my new hard drive.
Could it be time released to infest my computer again 12 monts later??

James

Now that’s strange the link on my control panel for check window for updates dose not work

more and more programs are failing

James

I agree with you mike about Norton being intrusive

Photoshop is now running very slow and the printer viewer is taking forever to load up with a preview

even the spelling checker has stopped working on forum

James

I personal hate any think by Norton soft ware

and yes started to have trouble with chrome so I reinstalled it and less than a week later it will not even load up so that is now going in the bin

as for the virus yes you are right it is only "I think"

bullgard says are has scanned my computer and not found any viruses and the uniblue disc scanner has not found any broken links

my os is XP pro on my main computer

James

the virus soft ware was recomended by the computer shop and to date I've never had a promlem. only 11 days left on contract

last week for some reason my firewall was turned off?? not by me.

James

Lucky my images are on a external hard drive

Are you saying a virus can attach to a image??

I think what going to happen is this

Monday going to have a new hard drive fitted and new virus protection, after all that, have the new anti-virus soft ware scan my external hard drive for bugs and virus

I'm not that up on computers so i have not got a clue if I’m talking crap please tell me

James

I think I have a virus

I can't restore my computer and it keeps on crashing
and now goggle chrome is failing to load up

I first noticed it the other day when the mouse stopped working and had to restart my computer and now it's getting worse

Typical as my anti-virus runs out in 11 day's
So here are my main questions

if I replace the internal hard drive and start from scratch will the virus or worm be on or affecting my RAM

Second question

As my anti-virus is up for renewal what is the best on the market, I'm currently using bullgard

James

well I like number one as Tim said "Imaginative" and would be happy to hang it on my wall, well seen keep it up

James

oops just seen your used lens at the bottom of the page 55-300mm

James

nice shots John is it a prime you used also the colours are spot on.

I managed to take some shots of birds and Parrots while in the USA early this year but i don't think there as nice as your blue (my are the red's)
I could find them and post if your intrested
