[KatyMac]

is this safe to follow?

Oh poo!!

Is that the name of the virus

S.M.A.R.T Repair - I think

I have used bleeping computer before and found them very good,instructions here

Why don't you just use a reputable company like Norton? You can buy a CD in PC World or any software stockist. They will give you very worry-free protection.

I wouldnt use norton if I was paid too,besides which it wouldnt sort this out, it needs more than norton can offer.Please do not think that any anti virus programme give you worry free protection,the virus writers are always one step in front.

I phoned AVG they have a man on it
