    Norton Antivirus

    You can try AVG from http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php.
    It is free. Some test show it to be very good, others say it fails in detecting a certain type of virus.

    Nothing is perfect, though.
    I have been using it for a couple of years now and am quite happy with it. I do not like Norton because it interferes with some other software I use daily, but others think it is great.

    New hard drive

    It is not difficult, but you need confidence and good instructions.

    From the way you phrase your question I would think: let the doctor do it. It should not be too expensive and he has the tools to save the data of the old disk and tranfer them onto the new one.

    You don't mention your OS but I guess you work with Windows. If so, remember Windows XP allows only five changes in the hardware of your pc before it wants to be re-actviated. No such complications with earlier versions of Windows.

    Good luck,

    You'd have to pay for the extra driver, though.

    BJSLIV message in inbox

    I never understood why people posted here they had sent a message to someone's inbox, b ut now that I have done it, I understand:

    inboxes do not get checked very often, I suppose (an the little flag does not help very much).

    So, BJSLIV,

    I send you a message asking for the communiqu from the French Minisitre regards pool safety. Can you have a look in your inbox please?

    Thank you,
    Adriana.

    pool alarms

    Can anyone confirm that? Can an alarm only be used as a complementary device? I thought one had the choice of four possibles: hard cover, fence, alarm or abris.

    I get a lot of conflicting advice, and very high quotes!

    Regards,
    Adriana.

    PS: the subject of pool safety laws is discussed in three or four different categories on this forum. I picked 'Gite owners' because the issue is more urgent for owners letting their property, but 'Legal' seems good to.

    Any suggestions of how to discuss the subject effectively?
