Hi Joan Ann & Susan, I do believe Joan Ann that it was as a request from myself some time ago that you so kindly posted the instructions for Ad-aware to this list! Susan if you could bear with me a little while I will root the file out! I have so many little tutorials and useful bits of IT instruction at this stage to from so many helpful sources so anyway I will start digging! All the best.
