I'd suggest an online virus scan before you uninstall anything, just to make sure nothing's scuppering it. [url= http://www.eset.com/home/products/online-scanner ]ESET[/url] is very good.

just switched on the pc in our lounge

seems to be a new v6 released - maybe somehow that's stopping the "old" version updating. Open it up from the taskbar & update from the programme itself ?

Ah, good to know. Google seemed quiet on the subject, which is unusual because normally stuff like that lights up the forums like a Christmas tree.
