Thanks Steve. I just quoted two of them - there are 15 others, but presumably what you say about the two applies to them all? What worried me a little was whether a virus etc. could be lurking in one of them and not be detected in the scan. Perhaps I am getting paranoid in my old age! Incidentally I was amazed how quickly my computer booted up this morning now that Norton has gone and the full scan took only about 20% of the time it did with Norton.
