I've just returned from my mums after she's had her 'puter down for a week thanks to this virus. :banghead)

All sorted out now but had to be done in safe mode.

Thanx Wobbs, this link has helped. :wink)

Hey guys. I know they're quirky, expensive and you can't easily get software for em' but my iMac doesn't get hit by any of these viruses :-) And it's also in the guinness book of records for the shortest instruction manual in the world :wink) . So. I had to re-mortgage to buy it.......... :banghead)

Unreliable :? Andy. You ok? I've had it 3 yrs and never had any problems. Alternatively, my bro ( VFR ) is a graphic designer / computer troubleshooter who's worked with just about every pc, mac and just about every operating system. The only time he reaches for the bottle is when he has to work on p.c.'s! Think the comparison of BMW's to Ford's applies here. They'll both get you there.... but the Bee-em is a much nicer journey! ( the Bmw being the mac of course :roll) ) I know the ratio of pc users to mac users is about 10 to 1 so cue the abuse........
