Hacked Computer
Claw75:
on a less positive note, it appears someone accessed my email account and changed the password again last night from an IP address that appears to be in Iceland (although realise that"s pretty much irrelevant). Have transferred everything over to several new gmail email addy"s all set up for 2 step verification and left nothing in the old account.

Assuming you have a 32Bit version of Windows (please check by Start > right click Computer > Properties), I have uploaded a free trial version of the ESET AV4 software for you to my server - see
http://www.itw4.co.uk/eset/eav4_nt32_enu.msi
Save it to your desktop (or somewhere easy to find) and install it normally. I would advise that you get rid of anything else Anti-Malware and Anti-Spyware related first though as it may cause problems with the installation.
Anyone can feel free to take advantage of this offer if you want to try a proper paid-for AntiVirus software.

If anyone wants a free trial version of ESET AV5 (I would not recommend the Smart Security for novice users as it can be fiddly to configure), get them here http://eset.co.uk/Download/Software/Product/EAVH

FWIW someone has definitely been on my Facebook and messaged very childish rude stuff to one of my friends. I"ve now reset my passwords for Facebook and Hotmail but will download Neil"s scanner when I get home after work as Avast picked up 2 virus programmes on my PC last night. Well done to Neil, a star as always 8)

There don"t seem to be any infected files on my computer.
The security on sky email really is a joke though. I won"t go into detail here, but it really is very easy to get hold of someone"s sky account with just a few details that aren"t very personal, and probably quite easily obtainable. Anyone that has an email account with them, I would advise dumping.
