Helen,

Thanks for the answer.

I was just curious as I've had no problems, except the false Positives, but then 
I don't have anything like what you are running. Not to mention Win98SE & Dialup.

I used to Use Anti Vir a couple of years ago & can't remember why I got rid of it.

Hope Anti Vir works for you.
