Thanks Kim. After a 26Mb download and half an hour of hard drive thrashing, for mine their .exe file proclaims, "Looks good. I wasn't able to identify the presence of any obvious spyware. Please note that this does not necessarily mean your computer is clean. If you have strong suspicion of being targeted, please do seek assistance." Well, that's good to know anyway :-) Cheers, Stephen _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
