Hello PMM2008, thanks for responding and for the advice, I will set out now to do a search and read the posts.
The bottom line for me more than even thinking about depositing is a virus infecting my computer. I have had a very bad experience and had to end up reformatting my computer, as I am sure a lot of people have had.
I always thought that installing from a cd was safe and that the only way that they could infiltrate your computer was by downloading from the internet until I heard that they (the hackers) are now actually incorporating their hacking programs into the installation cd's. What concerned me a little with this installation cd from Mandarin Palace is that it states on the envelope that you must be connected to the internet while installing?

? I find that in itself a little suspicious!!!! Together with the warning that I got after installation I think that I will give this one a big miss.
My philosophy is "when in doubt, don't do it!!!......I think I will take my own advice on this one
Cheers once again
Rocco
