Don,

Many thanks for your advice.

After posting, I managed to get rid of the unwanted calc.exe file. Further
investigation found the ixplore.exe, so have removed that too.

My McAffee virus software is up to date and detects no problems. Thanks for
Mcaffee link, it seems that the UK site is more difficult to navigate and
find things.

I will run the ravantivirus scan and post results.

Regards

Phil
