gg, tried that, CC Cleaner was already on the machine and use it every few weeks. Usually to get rid of any 'unwanted' debris from the untrustworthy sites
mike-wsm is referring to. Ahem.
BOAC, windows firewall on, as it always is/has been. Avast anti-virus running as usual. I promise, I've not changed any settings I'm aware of and it is still working fine on most other websites I go on. I have a bookmark for PPRuNe,
PPRuNe Forums - Professional Pilots Rumour Network, which just hangs for a minute of two, then comes up with "Connection closed by remote server".
Oh, any advice given, please take into account I am a special needs case when it comes to confusers...
