Actually drinking from a can... but still don't know how I shrunk the site...!!

Come on techies what numpty thing did I do to shrink the site.!!

[That Ruddy Squirrel]

Look down at the bottom right hand side of the screen,

There is an adjuster of screen size, your scroll wheel as amended it

In your example you got it set to 20% hence the shrinkage - can't blame this shrinkage on the cold weather

[AndyLala]

clue is in the bottom right hand of the screen...

where it says 23%...
Click the little triangle to the right and select 100%...
or get bigger glasses...

Or hold down the ctrl key and roll the wheel on the mouse again...

Gee you sure can type faster than me...

And a bit of general advice, get rid of all things Norton and Symantec. It will eventually fcuk your PC up and it will make an IT fixer a fortune if you don't.

What anti virus do you use then?

[Albannach]

What anti virus do you use then?

McAfee and Comodo firewall.

McAfee and Comodo firewall.

Norton is up at the end of this month so am looking for something less invasive and does not slow the pc down so much

Cheers

Comodo is free, I get McAfee free through a volume licence from work.

Anti-Virus opinions vary wildly, with everyone reporting the one they use is the best, I like McAfee. Some folk will warn against it saying it slows your machine down, however I suspect that's a set-up issue as I've installed McAfee on hundreds of systems without problems. If it was garbage or slowed machines, my employer wouldn't have it on hundreds of thousands of PCs.

Remember and get rid of everything to do with Norton when you uninstall it, use the clean up thingy at the link below.

for antivirus thats free i would go with AVG
If you dont mind paying then go for NoD 32

Everyone ill have a diff opinion on them, but both the above leave quite a small foot print and i have used both of them and cant remember the last time i had i virus
