Glad it worked. Haveyou downloaded the Zonealarm firewall aswell? You may find you will have to disable the Zonealarm email scanning facility as AVG7 already has one.

Moe... If you can manage to download and install the AVG program start your PC in SAFE MODE and then let AVG scan your PC (while in safe mode.) Directions on how to start in safe mode are on the TIPS board, thread '1 Stop Routine PC Maintenance' - page 1. Judy

Mo, you can download AVG7 antivirus software free from the grisoft web site. Also you can get Zonealarm firewall as a free download for personal use. As far as I can make out they are as good if not better than the paid for ones. I dumped my paid for Mcafee for AVG7

Moe You realy need something like Nortons Anti VIsus software, what you have will not stop viruses getting on to you PC. PC World have a deal on it at the moment. I am not saying that you have a virus, but it is a possibility. Victor
