Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 3,955 Send Message	Hi Puss, Hi Errol :) I have sent some instructions via message to see if it clears the No Name, , it is quite possible that you have brought up a remanent stored in sytem restore of the site trojans we had. If system restore was not switched off at the time a person contracts a virus, trojan etc and a scan was carried out, scanners cannot get into restore. Hence they come back at a later time :( A remanent ) I will leave you to decide how you want to go about doing things for now as I have to go into town. Its good to see Errol here :) Colin :):)

	I was just trying to narrow it down a bit. In other words, is there definitely a trojan (people have started to use the term for just about any nasty recently)?
