Re: Setting up new Toshiba laptop

Thanks guys. Not had time to do much of this but I keep getting Toshiba warranty registration reminders each time I turn on. I've had a look at the terms etc. and I'm a bit concerned that in addition to getting important updates, support etc., registering the machine leaves me open to getting all sorts of sales/marketing guff getting sent to me via Toshiba and their mates with no way of stopping it. There appears to be no 'opt out' option for third party marketing etc. I'm inclined to think registering for the warranty is important so am I being overcautious about the potential deluge of spam (which I've heard about in some reviews) and can I prevent it happening?
McAfee is also bullying me to register/pay but I'm intending to ditch that and download Avast free version when I have time.

Can anyone advise please?

TVM as always.
