Thanks, Dave.
I'm afraid I've got a problem with the Secunia Software Inspector. It says a software requirement is SunJava JRE 6.21 and won't run without it, but after downloading that from Java.com and trying to install it, a box came up with "Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." I gave it a break and tried again with the same result.
After that, the computer froze for a while and when I tried to close down and disconnect, it wouldn't. I tried to turn off from Start and after several tries the 'Do you want to turn off... you will lose everything not saved' message came up. When I pressed yes, the logging off screen came up about 1/8" normal size - but at least it shut down.
