Kenneth — I've switched to Norton Anti Virus after "playing" with several others… However, given the time frame involved with MichaelAngelo, you may want to think about McAffee's SCAN since it's shareware and available on several BBS's… The primary difference between the tools is how they manage memory checks, and how they manage updates for new virii… What I like about Norton is that they *really* know how to deal with Windows memory paging, and updates are a small file transfer periodically from the Norton BBS or CompuServe's SYMANTEC forum, and you "update" the existing program. Many others, including McAffee, release large program chunks, (in my opinion too often), and it's like you're constantly reloading the program. The upside of course is that if you're willing to check the BBS's weekly, you can stay pretty much ahead of most of the "new" virii… Good Luck — BTW, why are you so concerned about MichaelAngelo ? Do you own a Leading Edge ? — Matt
