I'm a little reluctant to totally disable the AV as I have received several viruses (my first ever) in mail during the past few days. All have been the same nasty, identified as - "HTML-Phishbank.UN" I suppose though that if I have to try this then at least using The Bat! keeps me much safer than Outlook Express. > Did you maybe just exclude TB's mail directory from the AV's on-access > scanning?

Thank you - I didn't know about this particular temporary directory (one more difference from my old 98SE) but did find that it was choked with a couple of hundred TMP files, so I have cleared that out as well - I seem to remember reading here some time back that an over abundance of these files could cause The Bat! to have problems. I'll try excluding this directory and the Bat! mail directories from AV scanning as the next step in searching for a solution. If that doesn't work I'll try totally disabling the AV for a bit.
