Many thanks, cannymum.. Sure wish they would come out with definitions to detect "media.fastclick" spywares; that little bugger is quite elusive! Take care..have a great Monday. ~Tommyo

Sorry, I forgot to ask this in my previous post. Is it advisable to periodically delete the contents of the quarantined files section? Thank you! ~Tommyo

Tommyo: After removing items to the quarantine section, I always leave them there for a week or two, just on the rare chance I need to restore something (haven't yet). Then, I purge the quarantined items. 8-) Solarian

Thanks Solarian.... I had some junk sitting in quarantine for quite some time now, and figured it was time to delete. Just wanted to get an opinion first to make sure. Thanks again, take care! ~Tommyo
