I have since had to go back in and uninstall Teamware, which was still there after the "System Restore" which I thought it might be. Wifey and I had a bit of a chat about this and for once I was right. We allowed it to restore "Teamware" as it appeared to have the Norton logo in it symbolising a piece of stuff it might need.

Anyway, with Teamware uninstalled I tested Norton again, its absence doesn't seem to bother Norton. so good news!
Incidentally, I never searched Google for Norton at all, the website that was on the card with the product code on it, the one they told me to use, was the only thing I used, and I typed it painstakingly into the address bar. So there is deffo a rat in Norton. Or connected to Norton by one of their employees.
And yes I had to do lots of restarts until all uninstalls had worked as well as downloading their thing to uninstall stuff via iexplore as it wouldn't download via Chrome.
I actually think I have learnt a bit of stuff doing all this!
And thanks again for your help and explanations.

Never ring them back, you could be connecting to a premium rate call. When you get through they can play a recorded ring tone so you think you are still waiting for the call to be answered. Numbers can be well disguised, I have had a few with uk numbers which when answered are clearly not uk callers. I check out suspicious calls without answering or calling back on a website, who-called.co.uk

To kill the line, call someone else yer like before calling yer bank to check.

I phoned the number on the NHS website as it was the same as the one that called me. I did check the who called me site and it was not listed. It is actually an NHS hospital, so quite confused to be honest!

Magpies can be a problem. They won’t “kill” adult birds as they need them to produce the food source.
Try a few CDs hanging form branches to annoy them. Plastic owls don’t work.

now as your in wales have you any red kites around( thinking attract them but may scare your dogs)

A china egg, trap and a pair of welding gloves is always another option.

If you want red kites incase you are nowhere near the Welsh red kites. I am sure you could export a few from the M40 OXON / BUCKS corridor, they have got as far north as Banbury now.

Cheers

They were all up the a49 this week.
Then Saw a couple chirk/Shrewsbury. It’s scary when they see road kill & swoop down.

Red kites in abundance! Unfortunately the magpies just live harmoniously with them. One of my previous Beardie's best play pals was a …….. red kite! They used to chase about playing run and fly games - the kite used to come to the front of the bungalow and whistle to call Cracker out to play!! It used to amuse the villagers who knew what was happening as soon as the chase -bark started. I think I've told this before but the kite came to bang on the patio doors when it saw me grooming the dog on the floor inside - frightened the life out of me but it wouldn't stop until it's pal came out to play!!

This evening, as the light started to fall, I watched to see if I had any visitors seeing as the dogs were outside. One, a young one I think, flew in but saw me through the window so just swerved away and disappeared. The funny thing was the reaction of the wee dog - he got up and left his 'nest' and cuddled in behind the older one in his nest so that he was shielded, and there he stayed. The older one was basically evicted from his own patch and had to just lie on the outer edge.

The magpie and friends did not come back.

It's when they do the swoop for food that you realise just how big and powerful a bird they are.

There was a program where a photographer had food spread round him & he took film of them swooping down.

We feed them if the winter is particularly hard. It's a good way of emptying the freezer of beef that has not been eaten over the year!

Bare footed then ?

tbh, in lockdown I wear slippers all the time with no socks, obvs (that would be a bit weird wouldn't it?) so no, no socks on feet!
Put socks on when going out, so could prolly count the number of times I have done this so far this year one the fingers of two hands, cos in France I don't wear socks except when wearing workboots, which I don't do often either!
