from all ive read most people advice throwing the telewest/ntl disc straight in the bin .. or at least not to use the 'safety package' as its not actually very good at what its meant to do .. cant say from personal experience as i didnt even try it .. stayed with what i have known for years

sorry not much help but i saw no one had answered so thought id at least chip in so you didnt feel ignored

Quite ok, thanks for a reply. To be honest, Ive not had any problems since using netguard. i used to use Norton, but my computer kept hanging every five bloody minutes, which is why i dumped the free trial on my parents computer in preference of telewests version. they have grisoft antivirus on at the mo and windows defender, as well as several other free packages (spybot S&D and teh likes). hopefully taht will keep it going, but knowing the cr*p my brother downloads - who knows!
