>The best way to slow down a system is install virus software. It has a tendency to stick it's sticky fingers into every operation on the computer. I take my chances without one.

Thanks Eugene, I do the same, but the problem is that my wife works with diskettes and word documents from her customers.

I'll disable it and we'll see what happens. In any case, she hasn't been bitten for a year. The only virus she got was in an email attachment that she never bothered to run because she knew that a y2k check was absurd on 3/10/2000.
