    yeah but do you know which bloatware application it is?
    The fact they allow this kind of intrusion onto someones private laptop makes me Fu**ing mad at sony.
    Ive not got any blank DVDs at moment to make a recovery disk, but will do soon.

    Sounds like a screen saver. Change your screen saver.

    @ roor again....(hes a real help this one!!): thats what the forum is for, to help others with suggestions from people who may have more knowledge.
    If you "learn" everything yourself why you on here?? Is this your social life? :)

    Thanks for that bananapudding, lol thats what it turned out to be, the thing is i previewed the default vaio screen saver the other day and it was just some FZ showcase thing and had no sound so stopped the preview after 10secs or so...little did I know if left to run a few moment more it becomes the "annoying film adverts".
