Good evening all. Lots of posts today, quite breathtaking.
Golddog
I have noted your comment about a dog for Christmas and will bear it in mind. We usually have a turkey but are always open to new ideas.

Sputnik - thanks, I've been off-air for ages now doing the virus scan
etc but so far nothing is working and I am stuck with this virus,
goodness knows what it's doing - apart from messing up my system
restore facility, as that now wont work (wail!)
Thanks for the carrot cake I think I'll over dose on it whilst
pulling my fur out! :>(

With many viruses you have to disable the restore facility because its files will be infected. Once you computer is clean you can restore the restore facility but all your past restore points will have been lost. Does that make sense?
Have you identified the virus?

The virus unfortunately is an 'unknown' as far as Norton is concerned
it identifies it as a virus but so far it is too new for it to have
a name. I should be able to go back on system restore to an earlier
month if not a date but that is out of action.
Sputnik, I did download the prog from Microsoft - thanks for that, it's
a good prog - everyone check Sputnik's previous post for the details
well worth down loading. However although it has found a lot of
spyware it has been unable to tackle this virus - maybe we should call
it after the hospital superbug! :>(

Under advanced tools goto system explorers and then startup programs and see what is running on startup and block any odd files that are there also do the same for running processes you will most probably be able to find something there, also check your BHO's to see if there is anything hazardous.

buuny - from experience, rather than faff on for days/hours trying to fix probs that are prob beyond fixing (nasty viruses change the registry entries and hence change location every start-up), reload windows from fresh and partition the hard drive - this gives you a C and D drive , Load windows onto the C drive and keep all data, backups, secret lottery numbers etc on the D drive...the advantage is that you have the option to recover windows without losing data and can the benefit of a clean system at will....

I'm after some help and as this BB is full of clever folk I thought I'd turn to you. I'm thinking of transferring my pension funds into a SIPP and have had a gander at the offerings from James Hay, Sippdeal, Hargreaves Lansdown, etc. As some of you may have invested in SIPPs I would be grateful to know whether you would care to recommend a good provider. They would need to offer an efficient online service, with low charges. My pension funds are quite substantial so I need to avoid any Mickey Mouse outfits.

Hello grevis, welcome to Poochy's Palace! If you have access to the Traders' Room, might I suggest you visit the Pep/ISA/SIPP thread which can be searched on the EPIC of 'SIPP'. That thread is full of people with relevant experience and I'm sure they would be very helpful.
I do have a SIPP but not a substantial one and I'd be interested in the answers you get too as there could well be a better service on offer than my current provider.
If you don't have access to the Traders' Room, I'd be happy to post up your query for you and tell folks how to contact you, if you have enabled your 'user settings' to receive private messages.

Hi grevis, welcome to the cafe, unfortunately you seem to have hit upon a day when everybody is 'out of the country' but I'm sure they will be back soon.
My knowledge of pension funds and SIPPS is limited so I feel that I cannot give you any more info other than I do deal with TD Waterhouse on line and their service in this area is excellent. They also do SIPPS so it could be worth your while to consider them as well as the other possibilies.
I also must go out now so will not be available for further comment until later.
Regards
opto

Thanks Priscilla & optomistic.
Priscilla. I don't have access to the Traders' Room so I would be delighted if you would help me out there.
optomistic. I hadn't considered TD Waterhouse, but will now have a look at what they can offer.
Cheers to both of you and many thanks for responding to my plee.

grevis2: I've just copied your request to the SIPP experts and I'll keep an eye out to see what responses you get. I've suggested the guys could post here directly or contact you via the internal mail. Good luck and have a cup of tea and a slice of cake while you're waiting.
