It's the one I use. Another, similar, program which is also free and highly rated is Avira Antivir, available for download here: http://www.free-av.com/en/trialpay_download/1/avira_antivir_personal__free_antivirus.html Good luck resolving the problem. cheers, Lynn

Just quietly works away in the background. LabRat Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly. Aramis: Yes, sorry.
