MowGreen,
While this may be true, ZA has kept me virus free with virtually no issues
for about 10 years now, so I tend to go with what works...This was literally
the first issue I've had and it can fairly be blamed on the MS Window's
strange habit of only recognizing certain updates....Most people might
believe that once they have executed an update search and installed all
updates returned they are done, in this case it took 5 update
scans/installs/reboots to get to SP1 even being offered....
I realize the average skill level in here is probably skewed to the norhtern
end of the spectrum, so us *novices* just have to limp aong on what we know...
Thanks again,
Paul F.
