Hi, Where were you running the anti-virus programme? On the server, or your client system? The spool directories should be excluded from anti-virus scans to prevent corruption of the database.
Also, what *.htm files? DNews doesn't use these. I'd say given this problem occurs only with Xnews, then it is a client-side bug, and a rebuild_index on the server will not fix the problem. - Roydon L. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... > I have one group that shuts down my newsreader Xnews every time I pull > headers.
