Tuesday 22 October

It's a dreich, grey and dark morning here. My sniffles came on their own, and will go away on their own. Feeling better than yesterday, thanks. I'm quite pleased because I've managed to remove the malware from the computer. Just a pity that Avast!, newly upgraded, has decided that the navbar in Blogger is malware and has to be blocked. Not so, Avast!, so a complaint is winging its way there. Tomorrow, I shall install another service pack for Vista, as well as my proper firewall software. And maybe, at last, I'll finally be back to somewhere near normal on this infernal machine. Including 10 minute hangs within half an hour of start-up
