Thanks Marg7

After a presumed brush with malware I went the longer way round and simply copied with two fingers the small amount of text from a PDF I had already been given.

A fairly good way of stopping it is put your hands in your pocket and Buy Emisoft Anti-malware.

It has full time protection and will stop most nasties from getting on to your computer.

£16.99 from here and worth every penny.

Emisoft Anti Malware

Just untick the things that you do not want with it and when purchased they will E-Mail you the keycode for it.

Should have added that is for version 6 and it should automatically update to version 7 mine did.
