Graham, interesting but I use Norton 2005, and unless there has been a change somewhere, things should work alright, even with Norton running.

With the scripts running I move to the web update button, and activate it with spacebar. I then move to the connect button, and press it. I then get a message saying that there is a new definitions file available, so I press spacebar on ok. After a delay of about thirty seconds I am told that the downloaded definitions file cannot be read, and I am asked to update again, so I acknowledge by entering on ok. I am then told that the web update is complete but I am inclined to doubt it. This new definitions file will not download, even when I try the update again. I thought someone else on list encountered the same thing but cannot recall for sure.
