Thanks mate, that is precisely what I am doing. Though I think it is reinfecting itself. I turned system restore off and AVG is still showing trojans, trojans that it cannot move. Sygate is re downloading at a painful 1.66 kbps  It amazes me. The machine was clean when I took it offline several months ago. I have been online for less than 2 hours and there are infections everywhere. And I have not configured or used email yet. Airborne viri? Infected via mosquito? cheers  |

Do you think that in the interim that all the virus/trojan/etc writers went on holiday too? Of course not. Since you needed internet access to get the interim patches, you needed a firewall to protect you. Two minutes online is all that is needed to get infected. RJ out. |
