however removed something that AVG brought up so will wait and see ::) ::)
AVG has been a bit of a resource hog (as well as grossly over zealous) since v8 IMO.

you no if you boot from the CD and select repair(r), the select the harddrive you want to repair usually 1, the write in chkdsk/p after that has finished write in chkdsk/r and that should repair any files that got destroyed.

Why not.....let's see if it's cheaper than what I give Redbus (LINX) at the moment for unlimited bandwidth on a 100Mbit pipe straight out in to the big wide world ;)
I have a spare unused (hot spare) server with a 1Gb connection and a shit load of disk space, located in TH ::). Shame its being decommissioned in a few weeks - its proven very useful in the past  :'(.  Was talk of putting some new kit in to replace this with 10Gb NICs, but I think its more likely that the nntp service will be pulled, or certainly drop the binaries...
