argh ***. I meant 31kb sorry :o(
As for e-mail scanning, its picked up some viruses for me when downloading
my e-mail. Is there a reason I should disable it?
I've been using it for quite a while now and its not caused any problems?
I have another little addition to this, I cannot log into my Internet
account with these details either? I don't know. I am frustrated with this.
