    Re: " I helped clean up the mess afterwards. "

    I would recommend a boot DVD with Knoppix, and once it loaded you can access the local NTFS disks as a mounted volume. As its Linux, you can virus scan the files as you copy them across to a USB memory stick and running off DVD its immune to any of the problems.

    I had a call from them at work t'other day, but was too busy to play along. It could be fun in an office of IT experts :)

    Most of us with older relatives get asked about computers from time to time. A very useful piece of advice is to tell them how to respond if ANYONE AT ALL rings up about their computer. This just about sums it up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUZgPfdkWis.

    I have free UK calls with Skype. I just tried to call them but they don't allow incoming calls.... What a pity.
