Just turn off any auto-checking features (remove all the anti-virus related extensions and control panels). Those are what slow down the machine and make it more unstable. You can leave the base application on the drive, that way, if you think you have been infected, you can still run a manual scan to find out. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
