I ran Norton 2000 but it interferred with my mail program.. So far the 2 programs have picked up all the viruses and before I had them I had one get past McAfee and Vet too . I now run PC-cillin and AVG Control center which updates daily at 8 am . The Trend program runs daily to check for corrupt files which has caught one so far coming from the list too. Thanks Bob though, I do know it slows down the speed of my computer but as my connection is through an ADSL, it matters little. * Seattle* Audrey friend of pwp aussie John 49/42/38?
