[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 40214, member: 176256"] WR, sorry when I said Explorer search I meant Find File. I may need your program soon though... Well I got I onto the Pandasoft site and downloaded the program which then ran. It said that it had found 1 infection but, when it got towards the end of the scan the modem connection started disconnecting. After doing this about 3 or 4 times I then couldn't get the modem to work at all. I then decided to run the Command AV from the system tray but whatever is there blocked me and flashed up the message "Access to the specified device, path or file is denied". I tried to go in through Explorer but was blocked again "The object that C:\windows\.....\.lnk refers to has been removed or is inaccessible". A similar message flashed up when I tried to open a DOS box. At this point I had to reboot and so lost my link to the report that Panda had prepared for me on their web site. I'm going to try to get Spybot now but if I recall correctly it doesn't offer any means of removing an offending file after identifying it until you cough up some dosh. Anyway, I'll give it a go.
