Thankyou to the one star bandit in advance, by the way.

You're probably either in bed now as it's ten to twelve on Sunday night and you're out stealing cars or turning tricks.

Your Mum says hello.

The money's behind the clock on the mantle-piece and Mr Parker from The Probationary Office called earlier - there have been some anomalous bleeps on your tag, so you need to report to the police station in the morning.

Nighty night.

I sense this is somewhat aimed at me.
The streams were not brilliant yesterday but I won't complain due to lack of us even having one, mine was fine to watch though.
As for the risk involved well as you say it is very low but here are a few things to note. Use adblocker plus, it won't completely get rid of all adverts but it is better than nothing. Second, don't use IE, I use Firefox but Google Chrome is also good. Third, never click on any adverts on the sites, even if it says "you need this or that". Lastly, I wouldn't worry about your browsing history unless you are one sick pup because I bet they have seen it ALL before. Stick to all that and you won't have a problem.

Can I ask which site you went on to watch?

Whoa....calm down, love. It's only a commercial.....

As I went to great pains to point out, I wasn't pointing any fingers.

My laptop probably got fried because I'm absolutely clueless regarding computer-related stuff and I clicked on the wrong link.

No blame apportioned, as I thought I'd made clear.

Keep up the good work.

My computer knowledge goes no further than:

10 print "BWFC are ace and Neil Whatmore rocks

20 GOTO 10.

And that's pretty "basic"........

It was clear I just wanted to post because it was me who posted "the instructions".
Yeah the tinternet is full of people who want to infect your PC, those steps should help though in regard to streaming football.

Don't worry, mate.

As I keep saying - it was my complete lack of internet savvy and NOT your advice that caused my laptop to be reduced to being a smoldering pile of useless grey plastic.

Like Frankie said - Relax!

Now go to bed and stop worrying.

This has to be one of the most random posts I've read in a while, I don't even know why I'm on the Bolton board.

These iffy football sites are probably the reason I've not got a pc any more and now using a mare carp tablet which keeps on making up its own words. Went hunting all over Bolton looking for somewhere to watch the match no luck then my nephew tells me over Sunday lunch he watched it in the pineapple-thanks for that one.!

5* from me. I enjoyed reading about your trials and tribulations.

It's no consolation but I couldn't access any of the streams. I did have a warning from my BitDefender program that one of the sites I visited had malware and that I shouldn't access that site. Perhaps you should invest in BitDefender, it might save you a few bob in the long run.

If it makes you feel any better I once ended up having to format and re-install windows to fix my computer after visiting one of those sites, and I'm someone who actually understands and knows what he is doing with computers (to a certain degree anyway).

It can happen to anyone and even with all the anti virus software and caution in the world sometimes your computer can be infected anyway. Just one misclick or a visit to the wrong site and boom, your systems knackered.

Last "free streaming" I tried ended up with it costing £48 to get rid of all the malware it put on. I was even suckered into downloading a programme which was supposed to get rid of it but instead put more rubbish on to the computer. There should be someway of accessing where this rubbish comes from and then the perpetrators could be visited by football fans intent of redressing the balance.

He changed it to "Former Bolton defender Simon Charlton" by deedpoll two years ago.

Truth is, as someone who was streaming live football before anyone else knew, streams aren't as good as they were 4/5 years ago. You could download something lile Sopcast and get a decent quality feed for any game. Nowadays, you have to go on these crap websites and be subjected to adverts for stuff you're never going to buy. And if there are hot women in my area, they won't want to meet me.

Sopcast is still going and still awesome The only problem is they only seem to have streams for the big games.

Haha you all sound like my dad

HA HA !!
Love that tale, Tony!
5*, cheered me up.

I'd rather chew my own leg off than deal with PC World, TBH ..they are to PC expertise what fish are to ridin' bicycles!

PC World is one of the reasons my business exists...



To right theirs (and many others) wrongs!!
