Hi Dian,
I did a search on the server for .IN2 files and found none.  I also
looked in the AV software and checked the user permissions - it looks
like the users have full control.  I'm not sure I understand what
setting to change in the AV software so it doesn't do this.  But also
are you sure .IN2 is the correct extension?
Thanks!
