Who am I?
I live in Hook - the one in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, not the one on Hampshire -.and blog about local things that interest me, and sometimes about the big political issues as well.
I was a Liberal Democrat councillor for Chessington North and Hook ward from 1997-2010, and retired undefeated. But I couldn't keep away and am now the Chair of the local party.

Mark - sorry to take so long to approve your comment above. I think you should be safe if you have uninstalled the software. Their main purpose seems to be to get the money off you, not to spy on your system.
But do make sure you have a good anti-virus and anti-spyware system on your computer. That will pick up any attempts to 'read' your data.
