I have run Spybot but have not yet tried AdAware. I will try and download it from another system and copy across my mini home-network. I presume it is Adaware.com or I'll just look in google. Thanks Again * I was starting to feel like the guy whose doctor says he has never seen anything like this before. A rareity indeed.
