Review For: iPod (Apple)
Verdict: How good does it get Show Full Details

Description: iPod

Opinion: Fantastic, I can take 100's of CD's anywhere - but then you all knew that anyway - I love it. I also bought the composite AV cable which lets me use my hi-fi and the sound is superb. Only moan so far is that the instruction manual has to be downloaded from the internet. No doubt I'll also have a moan when the battery needs replacing, but so far it's great!

Review For: AVG Internet Security (Grisoft)
Verdict: It's driving me mad! Show Full Details

Description: Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Anti-Spam and Firewall software

Opinion: I changed from Norton as this software was recommended by someone who knows more than me about these things. Well, Norton slowed my computer down for about 15-20 minutes after start up, but this one knocks that into the proverbial. I haven't actually timed it, that's too sad a thing to do, but it renders my computer unusable for well over half an hour after booting up. As I've signed up for two years, I feel I have been well and truly stuffed. Help!

I have used the AVG Free Version and found it great!

Hi, My guess is that you have (by default) enabled AVG to run a full scan at start up. This takes about the time you quoted. If you go into your control panel and changed the settings (say to 1800 on Friday's) you will find that your PC will boot far quicker than when it had Norton.

Rating for Review: 3/5 - 'Neither'

Never had any problem with AVG. Sounds like Norton hasn't been uninstalled correctly, which has caused me problems in the past.

Sounds like you have indeed been stuffed! The stars see a rebuild on your near horizon.... Seriously, it could be worse - I've been fighting Cisco 'features' for the last week!! Bear with it! David.

Review For: Renault Megane (Renault)
Verdict: How many people does it take to change a bulb? Show Full Details

Description: Car

Opinion: European motorists are obliged to carry spare light bulbs, however, if you own a Renault Megane like mine, you will find you have to take your car to a Renault dealer to have the indicator or head light bulbs changed. This was quoted as 0.7hrs of labour at my local Renault dealer, Darlington's of Harlow. How mad is this?
