Seymour,

My ODL hasn't live updated to Build 218 yet, but my McAfee scan reported a Gobi virus in my Alpari Build 218.

This link on the Metaquotes website explains more.

Thanks Haystack. Some complicated stuff to read but I did get a result.

You're a Giant! :-)

I'm a customer of the Computer Doctors in Northampton. Most months they send out a link to their online Newsletter. It's in PDF format and you can of course, save the download or even parts of it, if you like.

Here's a link to their September Newsletter: http://www.computerdoctors.uk.net/newsletter/NL0809.pdf

There's a particularly interesting section in the Newsletter about using a Sandbox.

On their main site there is also an Archive of previous Newsletters and quite a good shopper searching link too. I sometimes use this when I'm wanting stuff or ideas but I also do like to use Google's Shopping link too.

Thanks Hil, I had a feeling that would be the case. I'll have to restore the file to its rightful place now!

How do I transfer my norton subscription from my old pc to new pc?

Anyone know?

Quote from a forum on the Internet:

"I had Norton Internet Security 2007 when I went from XP to Vista and had no problem at all. Maybe it is different with NortonAV?

I went online and downloaded the removal tool, ran it and then went back to their web site and downloaded the Vista compatable version. Put in my original key code and it worked fine."

Cheers exec will give it a try.

Oh I meant to say ... I couldn't untick anything in the Spybot SD resident thingie the other day. So sites are still a bit slow on the upload.

On the other hand, in the last week or two, I know of at least 3 people, including Mr Grumpy, who have had to deal with naughty Trojan attacks, inspite of router firewalls, McAfee, AVG and I can't remember what else.

Anyway, the other thing is, I want another stand-alone jobbie (alongside my 'orrible Vista). Any suggestions please? As in simple?

Tell Mr Grumpy not to open emails with attachments, getting plenty of dangerous ones here every day.

No it wasn't that - on one of my rare visits to work (as in today) he showed me. It was a simple product search on Google last week, very nasty. The other 2 were friends, one of whom I would imagine was via email, apparently half of UKOnline was affected by the Philippines. He's registered privately now.

Why people live with all these attacks I really don't know, why don't you just get a Mac and have done with It?

ED: Should have said something like "at the moment" at the end..don't want to tempt fate -):

'cos if nearly everyone had Macs the virus writers would start writing them for Macs...

The dodgy attachment thing is made more difficult by people who insist on sending ten lines of text as a Microsoft Word document (attachment) instead of simply putting the information in the body of the email. Or, if it's a real document, sending it as a PDF.

The worst offenders are employment agencies who insist on sending me CVs as Word Docs. And another Word Doc with their ludicrous fee schedule and Ts & Cs.

Maybe I should just engage in guerilla warfare and keep sending them back with 'only PDFs accepted'.

There is actually at least one virus which comes in PDFs, though it only affects unpatched installations of Adobe Acrobat, normally businesses...

My ODL MT4 on my desktop running XP updated to 218 ok. But my laptop running Vista updated Alpari MT4 ok but the ODL upgrade keeps failing. Everytime I open ODL i get a message to say it will upgrade but nothing happens. I use AVG and turned off the firewall but still didnt work.

Try closing the main program once the upgrade box pops up, Jeffie, and then press the start button to upgrade.

Kayak, I was replying to chocolate's concerns above my post and not "nearly everyone".

I desperately need to try and speed up my PC. Running Marketmaker, Level 2 and am is near impossible now. It never used to be a problem and the computer is never used for games, downloads or pretty much anything except trading and a little word processing. Can anyone suggest what may be wrong please?
I have broadband and 18.6 GB of free disk memory.

Disk space isn't the important thing generally, but RAM is. If you have less than 2Gb these days, you haven't got enough, especially if you're blessed with Vista. Somehing else that will cause performance to decay (on disk traffic) is fragmentation of files on the disk which occurs over time. It may be worth defragmenting the disk.
