 Hmmmm, thst's one thing that I haven't tried or for that matter, even
 considered.

 All my systems use both Norton and McAfee AntiVirus utilities, with the
 current updates. Since I don't "share" floppies, run the full system scan
 weekly, I didn't give that a thought.

 As soon as I get home, I'll run all three drives thru both utilities to
 see what they might find.

 Thanks...


 Have a GREAT one!
