Re: Tourist or resident ?

THB vs GBP, a topic with almost 30k views and more than 600 posts, tells me about the overweight of English footballers on this forum.

AVAST all the way!

It's free, you'll never have to pay, it updates every day and it's great.

Been using it for years and never had a virus.

In my experience Norton is terrible.

Forgot to say. If you are going to be doing P2P downloads, I highly recommend downloading Peer Guardian 2. This will stop dodgy people from accessing your PC.

SJ, I am having an inheritance clause which will eventually leave the property to our children, perhaps I should add that we are an English couple, so there will be no complications pertaining to Thai claimants.

I've never had a problem streaming anything with Firefox. You probably just need the media player plug in. Usually if it's not installed, Firefox will suggest you get it.
