I have just seen it installed on someones system, there was no options for automatically deleting virus's, just 3 options given, two of them centering around repair. I checked the help files, no mention there to automatically delete, especially email based infections and have been through the Options Setup line by line and still cannot find any mention of auto delete. Am I missing something here. Would be interested to know if auto deletion is in fact a feature as in 2000/2001 or not. Cheers.	Guest (0)

Hope this clears things up for you. Alan	Guest (0)

It is fine if you go on and stay on line to send and recive.	Guest (0)
