Can anyone help with a virulent virus I've picked up tonight whilst using my spare laptop on dial up. I've acquired gaelciumA which AVG wont remove and Panda now wont scan ? Bit stuck so any assistance gratefully appreciated. It's altered 104 windows files!

Check out http://www.grisoft.com/doc/removal/lng/us/tpl/tpl01?uti=Vcleaner for removal of the Win32/Gaelicum virus

I found a reference to Win32/Gaelicum.A at http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=451250 and clicked on the link mentioned in the 2nd post.

Good Luck with it.
PS. Watch your spelling?

CS I've had a look at the Symantec website and there's no mention of any virus of that name. If it aint there it's surprising. Is that the correct spelling?

Symantec search

edit more help from DocProc than me ;-)

edit found it:

Gaelicum virus

Doc Proc. Thank you. That's extremely helpful and supports the argument in my report. Much appreciated. But if anyone does find a UK inflation calc, please let me know.

Doc Proc and Seymour - very grateful thanks here - virus eradicated and further test shows its gone so v happy ! ( and BLT big long and BARC long performing well too I love it when a plan comes together - thanks again

Glad to be of help. Please send 50p.

On second thoughts, do not send 50p, but use it to vote Gorgeous George out of the Celebrity Big Brother house. I used to find him quite fascinating but of late, I've totally gone off the guy.

Same here - not been watching it a lot but I liked the maverick but he's been downgraded to a lump!

The Office of National Statistics just gave me the info, and for the real geeks out there, I can tell you 100 in 1823 would be worth, in current money.......7,972. And for the 100 in todays money, that would have equated to.....1.25 in 1823. There's no inflation calculator on their website, but they were happy to help.

Ignore - problem of setting up two monitors on new PC has been solved!

I believe Dil has asked this question about a Refresh website in post 3997 is there such a beast.

Mega..

Dil,

I used something called Yrefresher.

Can't remember where I found it, but I'm sure Google can.

re: stuck CD unit.

Start up the file explorer. Right click on the drive and there should be an 'eject' choice. Click it and the drawer should open.

I am looking for a set of blue tooth headphones to plug into a 1/4 jackplug,any ideas someone please,so i can plug them into my metal detector and do away with cables ???

Mega...

Sorted,just purchased a set from Ebay at just under half price,well pleased :-)

just having to renew my Norton antivirus which was preinstalled on my dell before delivery and the renewal centre is asking for "Type the subscription key for the selected subscription service" - cannot find out what this means , can anybody help?

MD Did you get backup discs with it? With Norton it is usually on a yellow label on the CD packet. Either that or the renewal centre will have sent you a code to enter.

Having said that, why don't you uninstall the heavyweight Norton and use something like free AVG antivirus from

AVG antivirus

I use Norton Internet security on my laptop and AVG on my desktop and much prefer AVG - it uses far less resources, updates really quickly (but set your update time to a time of day when less people are likely to be updating - mine is set for 7 am) and has caught everything nasty anyone has ever sent me.
