i have now asked my mom to get the pc and i would have a go.

my questions are...

firstly, any recommendations?

secondly, is there any way of getting superantispyware and malwarebytes to run from usb as i can only find them in NON-portable versions which if she is correct about not letting the programs install may not help.

i am sure i know the answer but wanted the experts advice, although i had to use my xp disk, this was just for the files on it wasn't it?  it doesn't mean that it is tied to my pc where the disk was installed?  it hasn't used any personal details as it was just the disk that it used not anything else to do with my OS???

next, on the plugin page it says <press config-to update> next to the anti-virus/spyware apps which just updates i presume to the absolute latest definitions(???)

lastly, i no have a folder with all the bits in.  my previous experience with an iso file is that it has only been one file but this folder has many parts in it, any idea what parts i drag into nero's burning section?

If you've got lots of different files, it's not an ISO. The easiest thing is to do another build, this time making sure you get the builder to burn the build straight to CD (using the unbuilt StarBurn). It's one of the options near the bottom of the final screen.

this couldn't damage a system could it?  it can't effect the main OS?  i ask as it is not for me that it will be used and i wouldn't want to cause further problems
