Thanks DavidR & Tech for your help!!

Appreciate your patience~~I think I finally got it!

I will leave those files alone.

Guess I'll do an (all local drives standard) Avast scan weekly when I do all my other scans.

Thanks again, guys.....your help is greatly appreciated.

PS I'm sure I'll be back on forum with more questions.

Now I can tell you more: if you open Spybot and choose the Backup section (buttom at left) you can delete the 'old' backups. Right click the items backuped and choose for deletion of the onew with more than 30 days. You'll get rid of some of these files

Hi Tech~~

Appreciate the above directions; however, I was unable to find the "Backup section" in Spybot. I am using Spybot Search & Destroy 1.4 version. The only things in the bottom left are: Settings; Tools; Info and License. I searched the entire program in both the Default and Advanced Mode and still couldn't find it.

Are you are using a diferent version than I am? I know a Beta version is available.

Thanks for trying!!

It is called Recovery in Spybot Search & Destroy, click the Recovery Tab, if you have any Recovery entries older than two weeks old, select them for deletion.

Glad that David helped you meanwhile

I have discovered the following "report" using the Administration Tools of XP. It's listed under "AntiVirus.

Are these Items the same as those mentioned in the thread? i.e. locked etc....

Appreciate any answers I can get.

Thanks

Can't you open one of the error message and one of the alert messeage and post screenshots of them here?

Lawman49 · « **Reply #25 on:** January 06, 2006, 03:15:51 PM »

Tech,

Yes I can..... See Attached:

Lawman49, error 5 means 'Access Denied'.
Maybe this is one windows update... I won't worry about it.
You didn't post the Alert screenshot

You can Modify them, removing attachments and Edit the text, 'error, content removed' something like that.
