Hi Ekhart Thanks for ALL the input. Where do you get all these links from? You must spend hours and hours searching. As it happens I did see the bit about running AVG in safe mode - which I tried but no to avail. It just wouldn't open. Will get down to trying some of your links. I'd need a month of Sundays to do them all! I'm grateful. Eric At 16/06/2004, you wrote: >Hi Eric > >Forgot to add the list of online trojan scanners (see below).
