mate theres no way you can get round them..... and if you don't watch them the computer will become disabled...... They send you a cd every so often to update the adverts and if you don't it will be disabled..... These free PC's although attractive offer has taken advertising to a sickening new level.... I give them the thumb down..

Cant you just reformat them?

I would emagine such a simple thing they would have got sorted cause then they'll just be handing out free pc's for no reason.. Although a highly technical person might be able to find a way round it who knows I'm not saying any of this for sure...

I believe that Lazza ordered one of these for his son, but I don't think that he's received it yet. I'm going to move this to the Consumers Opinion forum as there is already a thread there regarding this.
