    Thanks for the reply,the explorer issue prevented me from downloading any other scan programs including the ones you listed. However i just ran sytem restore and it appears to have fixed the problem. So for anyone else who has the same problem to do a system restore if you have windows xp like i do,and make sure you do a full spyware scan/virus before you do thi as you might still have them on your computer.So system restore will just escalate the problem.

    Many Thanks
    Tony
    :)

    Glad you got it fixed. restore points are locked so if you have prior restore points (which you will have now) you need to flush them and create a new clean one as instructed in step 1 of the readme.

    Are you SURE you are clean ?
