Martin, Thanks. Good to know.
But, here's one additional tidbit I forgot to add. The bitdefender web address for updates has been off line a lot lately. So we continue to miss updates due to being unable to reach the web site. I just changed by schedule for grabing updates to occur every 2 hours. A bit aggressive, but hopefully we won't miss too many that way. Once I see that connectivity to the update web is getting better, I'll set my updates to take advantage of the schedule you sent.

We're updating the signatures three times a day. Normaly they rollout the signatures at 1 pm. So, we're scheduled our updates at 14:00, 18:00 and 01:00 **CET** ==================================== Am Donnerstag, 17.
