Hi Reg
thanks for the vote of confidence. I have downloaded, installed and
run the scan. It found 1 virus and some cookies. They are now history!
I also found a couple of other virus scan programs on a CNet download
site: Spyware Doctor and Antivirus Pro.
Are you familiar with these two and are they legit?
Im curious, is there an XP2 version or is that an update from
Microsoft? Can I check it somewhere on my machine to see and then
download?
Kind regards and thanks for all the advice
chris

Yes that's good. I've got it on my MacBook running VM FusionWare and
XP2. It always intrigues me how Windows virusware jumps in at start-
up time, takes over your computer, updates itself then says all is
Ok. I'm still not used to that as a long-time Mac user :-))

Good morning everyone
I run XP on the Bootcamp partition on my macbook pro (10.5.2 dual
2.2
3gb ram) so I can do my GIS work and I dont generally use it for
internet work.
However over the last 2 days when I restart my mac to get into the
windows side it seems to be doing a few odd things now and Im
wondering if a sneaky virus has found its way in. A blue screen
shows
and says it has to check the hard drive. It does so then restarts
and
then is ok, until the next time.
Is there any useful and reliable virus scanners I can download and
use
on the windows side that you guys may know about before I go
searching
on Google and get a million sites saying 'use this one'!!
Kindest regards to all
