Hi Flekka,

One of my customers had a Tiny PC and we needed to contact Tiny and Could
not for obvious reasons, in the end we contacted Microsoft explained the
situation that Tiny was no longer trading and they helped us out.

Give MS a call and explain your situation they can help.

Hi Flekka,

Yes I mean phone them, when my customer needed assistance with her Tiny PC
we phoned Microsoft because we needed an XP disc because it had been lost,
now Microsoft charged us but only £25 which was not bad at all.

Basically phone them and explain, 9 times out of 10 they can help you.

Get someone to give you a copy of Firefox. Far better than IE and less prone to
troubles. You must have ben at a bad spot to get that virus. Get ZoneAlarm and
Spyware Doctor also AVG will save you some bother.
