| Hello lobo, it is fun but, it's also MASSIVELY DAMNED time consuming, and
| all the more annoying when, on this particular PC, roughly a year ago, I had
| spent a considerabe number of hours tracking and cleaning out spy/ad-ware.
| My memory's getting so bad, I can't even remember what was in his machine
| the last time ! ...it may come back to me shortly.....
|
| I'm currently looking into the McAfee / TSR type "command line scanner" that
| David H Lipman mentioned, I might give it a go. This is despite a long
| standing dislike of McaFee software when, many years ago, I tried several
| successive versions of it over quite a long preiod of time, and it, more
| often than, would not coexist very well with other software. But !
| ...that's was in the days of Windows 95 / OSR2 ...I think ...so perhaps
| it's improved since then ! ....I think Computer Associates have been
| doing a similar thing for some time, I'll have to look into that one as
| well.

It is NOT a TSR - Terminate and Stay Resident.
There is a big difference between the command line scanner and the GUI you may have used.
There is also a big difference between the corp/enterprise McAfee VirusScan and the retail
McAfee VirusScan.
