Hi,

A friends PC needs reinstalling, not a problem. What is a problem is that the internet is connected to an Orange modem (recent) and it also has a recently installed Mcafee antivirus.
Does anybody know anything about the Orange broadband system? Does it require a login everytime it connects or is it always on? From past experience my friend tends to instantly lose any log in information so I don't have much faith in them being able to find it again if it is needed after a reinstall.

Also will the Mcafee reinstall if we completely reinstall with a new version of winXP? Would the registration still be valid or would it require buying a new copy of anti virus?
