What software ?

For example, I am using McAfee VirusScan v4.5.1 corp., VirusScan v8.0 Home Edition and
VirusScan v7.1 Enterprise Edition on three different platforms.

If your AV scanner STOPS then you may have a hard disk problem with FAT/NTFS data
corruption.

Follow my emailed and posted suggestions and if warranted, we can tackle your any data
corruption.

What OS are you using ?

| David, firstly thanks for taking the time to help (much appreciated).
|
| I am running Mcafee virus scan:
| Virus definitions : 4.0.4326
| Created on : 18 Feb 2004
| Scan Engine : 4.3.20
|
| The virus scanner runs and after about 250 files it then justs stops.
| The list I included below was identified by Mcafee from their On-Line
| scanning tool.
|
| I will look at the other things you mentioned, but again, thank you.
|
| Have removed my email address, you were correct, it was a legit one!!

| Phil.
