Thanks Simon, but?. There are no entries for A: or D: (my CDrW drive), but a whole lot from C: - just to take one at random C:\windows\system32\config\security Error opening file ? locked. And even E:\System volume information mount point manager remote database\ - Error opening (access denied) All very strange. But at least it found no threats!
