Frequent 'Update' prompts from 'CCleaner' & Bitdefender

[Old Sparky]

Mark is bringing me the 'new' PC I bought from 'unreal dave' on Sunday, so from early next week that should be up and running. Strangely enough, this 13 year old machine is running much better now, although it does need an overhaul. Some bad caps. on the motherboard for one thing.

13 year old PC with bulgy caps? Is it really worth fixing? Unless you have a good reason for keeping what is likely a Pentium 4 then why bother. Good reasons might include an interest in older hardware. A need for ports and expansion slots that aren't found on newer PCs such as serial, parallel and PCI. Yes, PCI slots are legacy, the HPs from Unrealdave only have 1 of them.

It's always worth having more than 1 usable PC around. Although I have several PCs doing different jobs I'll probably be using the HP from Unrealdave to shadow my main PC, giving me a hot reserve with everything up to date. Also as an experimental platform so if I trash the installation it won't matter. Reminds me that I want to ask some questions about virtual machines. New thread coming up.
