Sorted the Active X prob.. chose "allow" in every option!! Prob become the home base of every virus known to mankind now though..
Vanny. I read somewhere that service pack2 alters the way your CPU interacts with the motherboard, and on some PC's this cause's the dreaded "blue screen of death" and the PC will no longer run.. On others it causes the PC to run very very slowly.. So I gave s-pack2 a miss... [:0] [:)]

I've heard a lot of scae stories about SP2 but not heard of any actual cases.
i.e. Lots of people say it will do this that and t'other but nobody who has actually installed it has come to any grief.
A bit like the stories that go around about Cits.
I've personally installed it for four people and had no ill-effects. I know many more people on t'internet who are using SP2 as well. Not one is having any problems. The 64 bit version of XP is causing some grief though.
The way to get round AVG reporting NAV's quarantine folder would have been to uninstall NAV, not usually a good idea to have two A/V proggies going anyway, they tend to distrust/dislike each other and get into all sorts of tangles. Have one on your system and back it up with online scans if you want.
AVG is having a few problems updating at the mo anyway.
It seems you've sorted your problems which is good. Might I suggest you get Firefox as well?

Dont laugh, I thought about going to get it - only lack of space prevented me (found a tramp sleeping in my Lock Up[:0]) - so after several arguments with the housing gave them the keys back.[:(]
Now tryig to find cheap affordable storage in my area.... On each councils waiting list.
