Hi all , I think I'll stick out like a sore thumb on this site as I have no interest in gaming , but it is pleasing to see so many members giving helpful advice , & is interesting reading all the spec's even if I get lost sometimes understanding it all .

Hey overthehill.

Welcome to the forums. I think everyone along the way gets lost in all the techy stuff out there. Learning new stuff is all part of the process. If ya dont know something regardless how small may be ask away. If ya dont ask you will never know and we all gotta start somewhere.

Avast free is perfectly fine for home users and also scans for rootkits which a lot of other anti-virus freeware doesnt.
