Glad you got it sorted Richie

How about this for being lucky......i mostly use a laptop.....for OOF and email which i know is AV upto date.....

But i have desktop upstairs which can stay turned for days/weeks downloading...and i use it surfing if im upstairs....it had 7 disks in it.......2 scsi disks internally (one of which it boots off).....2 ide disks internally and 3 scsi disks external configured as 1 disk...
One of the two internal scsi disks died about a year ago. (luckily not the boot disk).......bit of a pain as it had applications installed on it.......tho no big deal....no data lost......just had to reinstall apps as i needed them on another disk...
BUT what i hadnt noticed was the AV software hadnt been starting.....no reason it shouldnt have been as it wasnt installed on the dead disk.....
For sum reason i checked the definition file it was using last week......it was 12 months old

and the service wasnt running

Restarted the service and it straight away complained the definition file was outa date.......hit update.......and it loaded the latest....

I ran a full check of all the disks.....and it found no viruses......lucky or what
