    Hi Chaslang,
    In your article How to protect yourself from Malware, which I find very helpful, the link to the above title has expired. Have you any suggestions on a free alternative. TYagain.

    ah ok, the link is fine but I get what you mean the version number has changed, the linked Microsoft Windows Defender 1.1.1347 Beta 2 is the latest version and works well, so I would get that updates version.

    Cheers for the spot on the out of date version and I will alert Chas to adjust it :)

    Thanks for catching this. The version number indicated in the link is incorrect but the link itself does go to the current correct version of the software.

    Hi,
    Sorry but I think that you have misunderstood me. When I go to this download link(there is only one location-Author's Site) I get an error "sorry, this download link has expired. TY

    Quick question which Browser you using and could be kind enough if you have time to post a screenshot of what you see as it may help us locate a potential problem?

    Cheers :)

    must be too large to attach, try uploading it to this online image store and then past the supplied link into a post http://www.imageshack.us/

    Cheers for this Boneyeye, like Chas I have now tested that link on 6 different PCs and all work fine so it would be handy to know why you get that error.

    another thing to try is to delete your temp internet folder and cookies and see if it resolves the problem, sometimes a rogue temp file or cookie can hinder sometimes.

    Hello Boneyeye, glad the temp and cookie cleanup helped resolve this issue, we try at Majorgeeks to cater for every age group and level of knowledge, sometimes it takes a few posts to understand each other but we perservere and try to get to the bottom of a problem.

    once again glad that worked for you :)
