Have you run a virus scan on whatever removable media you are using. Sounds like the PC Anti virus program might be trying to protect your computer from infection.

Get your brains a working, every time I go to save something on the floppy disc or zip disc, material is saved but afterwards computer shuts down, at least that is what it seems like. All I get is a "bing", I have to close down and bring it back up again. Any thoughts? Have I lost a file or is it old age, like myself? ... All help appreciated, Maureen.
