Oh POO!
What a crap day I've had.
1) I finally find an engine on ebay that is local. 1300, big valve head, rebuilt 3000 mile ago. Choice!
So 1 min to go it has only got £40 it. Whizzo, I think and place my bigger bid with 10 seconds to go. Guess what? I get a message saying the auction
has ended, before the 10 seconds elapse. WTF?
I then discover that my 3.8Meg connection has dropped to 800K, so everything has slowed down including my bid. WAY TO GO BT! 
2) Then I decide to have a surf to try and chill. Get a pop-up and press the wrong button. Now I cannot get out onto the internet at all because I
have a trojan that gives me a security warning and tries to get me to buy their product and I can't get rid of it. 
3) Now I'm stuck with this crappy lap-top that I got forfuture use with Megasquirt. I....t i....s .s....l....o...w it's almost a wood
burner.
I don't know what I did to be so lucky. perhaps I was Adolf or Ghengis in a previous life. Either way I must have been a complete git!

Is it possible to down load a new(er) anti virus program to your laptop and then swap it over to the pc via disc/ethernet/what ever you have handy?

An anti virus ain,t the problem. I am currently running Symantec Corporate Client on my PC. This is a professional level AV. The malware that I have
aquired didn't get past it. I got it as a result of my stupidity in a momentary lapse of concentration, because I was peed off.
Be warned fellow surfers. It only takes a moment.
The real problem exists between the computer and the chair.
Thanks for the input though Si. Appreciated.

In which case I hope you have a full reboot/wipe disk lying about handy.
Oh, and get super ad block next time!

You shouldn't need to be that drastic, just roll it back to a previous, clean, installation.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

It may just be me and my level of luck with computers, but I always seem to end up with no way to remove the things as they bury themselves. A full
wipe just saves bother for me!
