I wouldn't let pcworld touch any of my stuff.
When I bought Goldies touch screen monitor they tried to tell me that the touchscreen wouldn't work with vista and that you had to have win7 installed.
I wouldn't trust them to format a usb stick.

Maybe you local store doesn't hire from the bottom of the gene pool like mine does.

There is years of bullshit on that pooter mate they better not fook it up.:salute:

 

[ellie1998]

Trying to save you grief later.
They will most probably saay it needs a format and reinstall.

You would be better off removing it yourself.
I'm just being honest with you so your not disappointed later.

Could have ran malwarebytes in safe mode, that should have picked it up and cleaned it, it's basically a search re-director for your browser, so it changes the default engine etc.

You haven't installed any freeware lately like iLivid?

I think they call them "Tech Guys" don't they

If there was every a contradiction in terms, I'm yet to see anyone of the PC World sales and support staff that know anything technical. I have to bite my tongue sometimes when I'm wandering around (there are certain things in PC world that cost the same no matter where), plus I generally just go to have a play.

To be honest guys I have never really had a problem using these guys. My dog was sick on my keyboard a few years back they replaced the keyboard and everything was fine after that. In the meantime I am using my daughters pretty pink computer. Lovely

Curiously, they believe they know things?

Times like these when I would just do a complete rebuild of the OS.
Save all your data and format. Nowadays you will spend ages trying to get rid of malware/trojons etc.
