Thank you for your help.
I have the Norton Anti Virus installed and Norton Firewall installed, I think I had
both installed before this problem started. I have tried to detect a virus but no
such luck. I will definately check out the things that you suggested as the Virus
may have got passed Norton and be in the system somewhere.
If there are any other suggestions I am eager to hear them, this problem has been
baffling me for months.
