I have decided to start this thread for discussing technical issues that come up rather than messing up the other threads.
I guess the first issue seems to be pasting Word text into posting boxes.
Recently we have had three threads lockup up as a result of posts involving Word text.

I have removed all my links from Google Earth (with the exception of the Loch Garten)
I think it is easier to load the data each time and then you know for definite that it is the most up to date available.
So really getting the osprey maps on to Google Earth is just a few clicks of the mouse.
The advantage of loading one set of data at a time means that you do not have tracks interfering with one another.

If anyone else gets this, I believe it may be able to be "cured" by booting into Safe Mode and doing a System Restore to a date before the virus struck - worth a try anyway, before getting out the wallet.
I'm supposed to be using Firefox with NoScript installed, in which case many nasties shouldn't be able to write to your hard drive without you giving specific permission. I say "supposed to be" because over the last several/many months browsers and/or websites have stopped co-operating, so sometimes I use Chrome, for which there is NotScripts, which I've only just installed.
Another program which is very good at recognising and blocking intruders is MalwarebytesPro - there's a free version which is good for removing some malware after it's gained access, I bought the Pro version when it was on special offer.
I think I came here to say something entirely different but... :-/

Chloe, I use Microsoft too and their Firewall. I also use AVG.
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
Two antivirus programmes Sandra? I always thought it was not advisable to have more than one installed.
Scylla - I got Metropoliton Police and had to get my company to get me out of it through team viewer - It took hours - Then they installed Malwareby.
The police report wanted you to pay a fine and install your bank details otherwise it blocked your computer. Apparantly it comes through forums and at the time this was the only forum I had beeen on that day when it happened.
Apparantly PC World charge £50 to have iot sorted.
What antivirus was installed on your machine when you got the virus Keith?
