Does anyone know the cheapest way to transfer money to a foreign bank account? At the moment it's costing me like £30 doing a international transfer using my bank.

[browniemcghee]

Transferwise is a great service. Check them out.  Good luck.

With out a doubt it is Transferwise. A really fantastic service with low costs but more importantly a very good rate that is close to the spot rate. It just works really well.

Another one from me

Is it worth getting my iPhone 6 jail broken ?

[Snowy]

No. Android if you want that shiz, IMO.

[spitfiredealer]

Ok
Any particular reasons? Or just not enough benefits to warrant it?

[Snowy]

iPhones IMO are all about 'just working' and are built into Apple's ecosystem. When you start taking away the ecosystem benefits to make it hardware on a different OS, you're taking away at least 50% of the phone. If you want the software features, easier/better to go Android where you can get almost as gooder hardware without having to break anything. PS I'm a very happy iPhone users since the 3G, upgrading most years now. I did go Android 4 2 years, it was fun, but I got bogged down in toggles and features, so came back to simplicity of Apple

[spitfiredealer]

Thanks Snowy. Only reason I was thinking about it was i am keeping my current iPhone 6 rather than upgrading to the 7. So was thinking jail breaking might give me something new.

[Snowy]

'ah'. In that case, what's the worst that can happen? Try it out if you don't like it rollback to the official image?

Is there such a thing as a good, free anti-virus system… Norton now costs 60€ for a year... That's just too much...

Edit: it's actually 30 for 1 device. Still: I'll leave this question here...

[den1mhead]

Try; Avast free antivirus, also Microsoft Security Essentials
I also use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware which are both free

[Signal11]

I don't know which OS you have installed but Windows 10 has defender integrated.
Malwarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware as suggested by den1mhead are good additions too.
Together with UAC enabled, an adblocker and common sense you will be quite safe.

[neph93]

Common sense too? He's proper fucked in that case [emoji1]

[Seul]

Completely fucked. So I've just got a Norton subscription for a year again… I don't have Windows updates on, it messes with my PC, so I need summat better than Window's Defender... I'm running Windows 7 btw...

[Signal11]

In that case you made the right decision. Was it a temporary relapse?

[Seul]

I'm in a state of constant mental relapse… Or collapse... Or advanced collapse...

You should apply security updates manually then, and if you havn't already, use Chrome (and keep it updated) to browse, not IE.

Anti Virus has it's own issues :
