80136 2002-09-19 11:17:00 Thanks for the reply Susan. I updated my bios, and reformatted my harddrive in February after heaps of trouble and have'nt had a blue screen since, I'm still a bit paranoid. One thing that may have a bearing is that I put the temp file into F Drive, but it should'nt as Spider did find the urls the first time and reported that they were bitten. I also find it interesting, that there is no dat file showing in the folder, is this common. When I virus scan the temp folder, it scans 7900 files. I will disable system restore as a matter of interest and I'll try the dos deletions as you outlined and let you know. It may take a couple of days as I've got two teenage kids and I have to almost beg for a turn on the computer.

80138 2002-09-21 21:29:00 Well I used the dos instructions and played around a bit with the commands, it worked, the only thing for a computer paranoid person like me is that it took about 25 minutes to clean.
Thanks Bill

80139 2002-09-21 23:07:00 Glad to hear that you got it sorted in the end Bill .

I have heard that a large number of files do sometimes take a long time to delete, even through DOS, especially if smartdrive isn't used .

You shouldn't have these problems again in future if Spider is used regularly but if you ever do you know how to fix it .

Thanks for letting me know . :-)
