Unfortunately it doesn't seem to cure the problem. Let's check the command first. I'm using /usr/bin/clamscan -ri /home/ --exclude=.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/ When that still gave me the error message I added /home/anne/ to the path - thinking that even though it is a run-as-anne job, maybe it still needed the full path. Unfortunately, that still shows the two files as 'infected'. It was certainly worth a try, but it hasn't solved the problem. Anne
