Hi Jimmy

Sorry, no good either. I regulalry check my machine for spyware and viruses
and so neither was found. I did create a new profile and exactly the same
message came up, so it's not a corrupted profiles. I even made sure that the
disable debugging script was checked in the advanced section of internet
explorer tool even though i run Firefox on my system. So its back to you I'm
afraid
