Thanks David, I run quite a few applications on this PC, and because it's on-line 24/7 with upload manager and downloads I get a bit paranoid if I get a feeling somethings not quite right. The last week I must have had about 20 bank phishing e-mails, of which I just delete. But of course you are only as secure as the latest .dat file.
