Will do - but there is something odd about CW Shredder - while scanning, it suddenly reboots. I dont think it is going thru the entire scan. Could this bug be protecting itself from CW Shreeder? Seems like I have heard something like that. I have a feeling it re spawns itself.

[don77]

Be sure your running it in safe mode,
