Thanks to you both.
It looks like me and the software won't be getting along too well.
When 'configuring' it asked if I wanted to schedule a boot time scan. I said yes. That implied to me that the boot time scan would be scheduled EVERY boot.
Now I see, from your good words here, that this is not the case.
Trouble is, I spent more than half an hour looking all over the place to turn it off because I assumed that "schedule" meant "schedule".
It also seems that I have to change e-mail settings to get e-mail scanning to work. That looks like a problem to me.
I also SOMETIMES get 2 icons in systray, this time 1. And I see no obvious way to get the "VRDB" database generated without that icon. *IF* it's in the "Enhanced user interface" then it isn't obvious to me.
I'll see how things go for a few more days, but right now it's looking like the interface is not matching my simple level of intuition.
