Sorry,Hazel,

I tend to assume everyone uses XP!

According to a Google search,the Symantec site will scan
98 platforms.I'm amazed that none of the others I
mentioned do.What A.V programme do you use,incidentally?

"... Windows 98, ME Windows NT 4.0 Workstation Windows
2000 Pro Windows XP Macintosh ... 5 or above Netscape
Navigator 4.5 or above America Online Safari 1.0 or":
