    Best anti-virus for Windows?

    I had used Norton before and just had issue after issue after issue. 5 years since I started using NOD32 and the only issue is renewing the license. Costs a bit to cover 3 machines for 2 years at a time.

    Can you recommend a canon?

    I don't think anyone could tell you you would be wrong to buy any camera but the 5d is a lot of camera and I'd have thought something less would be a better starting point. Depending on money maybe a 650d as a very very good starting point. Landscape lens, a 10-22. The 5d if full frame, other...

    Download speed

    Fair point, didn't change anything though. The download speed just gets slower and slower as the download goes on.

    Download speed

    After 4 hours I gave up. Before I did though I went onto youtube and watched a video no bother without issue. So it would then seem that the issue is at Microsofts end.

    Stolen Canon Equip, please be aware

    I know that this thread isn't about house insurance but please get some. Even if it's the most basic. I really hope you are only talking about contents and not buildings. If you say you cant afford the insurance then imagine trying to replace just a TV, DVD player and some other nice things...
