| 400569 | 2005-10-31 08:33:00 | IMHO the best thing to do is to go thru it manually and remove as much crud as you can . Thru their own uninstallers or Add/Remove (presuming Windows) . I have revived a number of old dead comps by simply removing as much crud as I could identify and only then using updated versions on AdAware and Spybot and CCleaner ( and it's excellent registry sweeper) . In my experience ( and OK it's only my experience ) I have found that the more you can remove yourself the better . Tho that's not to diss the many excellent clean-up programs . Bit like picking the socks off the floor before you vacuum . |

| 400571 | 2005-10-31 22:38:00 | Does it auto-repair infected files? When the program is run, a dos 'gui' comes up with a list of options. I think from memory the options to either just list and report infected files or to auto delete come up after pressing Scan, but it is fairly self evident. |

| 400573 | 2005-11-01 04:15:00 | OK, here are the 'Action' options under Scan: Report Only Disinfect/Query Automatic disinfection Delete/Query Automatic deletion Rename/Query Automatic renaming ....And under Options: Scan inside archives Scan compressed executables Scan subdirectories Scan a normal system List only infected files Do not beep when a virus is found Use heuristics So it is a fairly comprehensive. I can't think of an appropriate tune, but wait what about this one; Memories of You (www.redhotjazz.com), Duke Ellington and the Cotton Club Orchestra in 1930 a tune still played today, from "The Blackbirds of 1930" |

Bob Hopes theme tune, not so well known though is that it came from the film The Big Broadcast of 1938. |
