Hi Mike,
I empty the temp folder daily so it's not that. I
keep the AV software updated weekly and do a startup
scan and I've done a regular scan about 3 days ago and
there was nothing. I had picked up the badtrans virus
but, it was quarantined before it actually started
attacking any programs and was removed with a virus
removal tool.
Any other ideas?
