Hi Carol I can't really add much to my previous post. As I said, it seems that windows Defender was not causing the problem anyway, although I can't say this for definite because I never found a solution. I will reformat this machine sometime soon and that should hopefully sort things out. Perhaps this complaining about other programmes is just something they trot out from time to time when something they are unsure of is going on. I may well put Defender back on here after the reformat.

I ask because I'm using both and, to my knowledge, have had no problems that they haven't been able to sort amicably. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: James O'Dell To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, May 29, 2006 8:46 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Nod32 Hi steve It's interesting you say that. You're probably right, but when I was investigating my recent problem with their tech support, they told me that it was advisable to have only one "anti malware" program (i.e. Nod32) running in realtime mode at any one time. I was also using Windows Defender at the time,which I have since uninstalled on their advice. It didn't solve my problem though. I still use Spybot for "on-demand" scanning of my computer. I have also seen references to a supposed ability of Nod32 to help protect against Spyware, can't remember exactly where just now.
