Hi Train, I cannot download anything from the sites mentioned above. I click on download and nothing happens.

Also when I tried to print the intructions as they are lengthy nothing happens. Yesterday evening while trying to figure out what to do, an Acronis box popped asking where the last up date was.

Have someone download them for you. Put them on a thumb drive or burn them to a cd.

You can try downloading using Safe Mode with networking if you wish.
Malwarebytes will install in Safe Mode and if you are using Safe Mode with networking, you can update it.

Well I just spent more time replying to this and when I posted it a box said I need to log in but I am already logged in.

I just can't rewrite all this again except to say my laptop (vista) is not compatable with my modem another is enroute.

Meantime put the pc into shop for virus check and as I pulled up outside home afterwards the postman delivered the new modem! sod's law.

When I find out what the problem was I'll let you know.

I'll try and post this

It wouldn't surprise me if my machine was clean because I had a similar problem last year after I had installed loads of updates. I did a reload never installed any updates apart from SP2 and it worked perfectly.

About 10 days ago I relented and installed about 70 updates and that's when all these problems started.

Anyway Train my thanks to you and all who had some input. It is much appreciated.

Well, I hate to say this, but nasties and updates do not get along.
Seen that bunches of times over the years.
