Thanks Bill & David,
One of the ones I was thinking of was the CA EZ-trust, but could not
remember the name, the other choice was MacAfee as I usually have good luck
with them. Norton and I are not on the best of speaking terms...Years ago I
loved their stuff.

Digging big into my memory is "antiVert" or something like that. Does that
sound familiar ?
I also noticed that Staples has some of the MacAfee stuff on sale, and since
MacAfee bought out Neopoint (neotrace) it will be nice getting a newer
version ( if there is one) of Visual Trace 2.5 as I find that very handy at
times.
Thanks again and hope you have a good new years !
