How do I get random pictures of naked ladies to pop up? I usually pay for this, so if there's a free option out there, I'm interested to know....

My old Dell laptop got much better and faster the day the supplied McAfee licence expired. Happy day.Comment

1 The kids use and has never been near anything remotely dodgy - and they get no dodgy stuff at all - not even forgetful ladies
2 The other one has been used for many things - but again still no forgetful ladies
I think someone has been on a dodgy site or two - to look at forgetful ladies!
you may want to point them towards more mainstream sites like xnxx or pornhub as these generally avoid trying to slap loads of crap on your PC.

I used to use Kaspersky, then switched to Trend Titanium. Currently just using the Windows Defender stuff on the home PCs, and not using Edge/Internet Explorer.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

John McAfee has a great video on how to uninstall his former companies anti virus softwareSocialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment

I would actually recommend Microsoft Security Essentials. Free and surprisingly good at getting rid of that kind of rubbish. I'm sure there are equally good free AV's but have had good experience over the last few years. If I do pick up a virus an update and a run through always does the trick, no need to surf the internet trying to identify the virus.

This reminds me: The AVG licence has expired on Client co's PC. I'm ignoring it for now. Maybe I should tell someone.
Every now and again it decides one of the JS files that are part of one project is a virus and cleans it. Which is great if you accidentally check it in.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
