I haven't gotten around to checking if I still have that Google message recently - I've been under the weather. I've noticed though that I only get it in Chrome, but not in Firefox. I haven't touched my PC for a day anyway, although I didn't unplug anything. I guess I'll try that. Unless there's anything else I need to cover, thanks shelf life. I appreciate the time you've spent giving me help.
Off-topic - I've never realised that cnet.download.com has become a cesspool for viruses. If only I've read other people's complaints sooner, I would never have downloaded that stupid malware program that I thankfully got rid of. That's the last time I'll ever download anything from there again.
