Can't connect to Microsoft update

Excellent news, Zorba!

As for MSSE, it is a relatively low resource, unobtrusive, AntiVirus and AntiMalware tool.

AVG, which I've used for years, had become too bloated and hungry and although I'm not a huge fan of Micros**t, I thought MSSE deserved a crack.

Frankly, I'm very happy with it. Topper has also given it the thumbs up.

You can update it whenever you wish and you can set it so that it always updates before carrying out any scheduled scan.

User Interface is clean and friendly.

Give it a whirl

I would have thought that you could post the name here if you add spaces and use words like dot and slash.

No need to Paul I have attached a copy for future use by anyone and made it a sticky thread

Download to desktop and unzip the file to desktop

Boot to safe mode and double click the icon and follow the instructions

Wll it wasn't stinger. I tried it but couldn't acces that either, it was www(.)enigmasoftware(.)com/products/conficker-removal-tool , the only one I could access while the conficker virus was present on my computer.
I will try MSSE. I remember I used to have AVG but had it uninstalled for some reason.

Microsoft Security Essentials

But only if your copy of Windows is recognised by MS's update centre as being genuine ;)

Of course

My daughter is home from uni for the weekend and she asked me to find out why the volume wheel on her lappie was not working sometimes and whilst checking her new laptop I noticed she had limewire on there and when I checked MSSE it had actually found a trojan in a music file she had tried downloading. I scanned the whole PC as a precaution as she was still dead to the world at midday and I have to say it appears to use minimal resources when scanning and is quite fast in all operations.

It is definitely going on my PC when subscription is finished

Is Limewire still going ?

I'll ask her but I cannot see her putting it on there if it was not

I had this a while back you have picked up a trojan and that stops access to certain sites like AVG. Igot rid of it with trojan remover you can get a trial version from _http://www.simplysup.com/[ that will work in full for a limited time then if your happy you can register for about $25
