Hi ntbf,

That's a bit strange ! I just DL it myself from the link i posted, and scanned it at Jottis, which came back clean.

Here's another link that works http://www.soft32.com/download_77.html

OS: Windows 9x/NT/Me/2K

Hope you have better luck with this one. Let us know what you think of HVI.

Haven't tried it but found this on it...

Freeware that lets you manage two Antivirus programs at the same time. Very useful if you use more than one Antivirus program, (eg. if one is better for worms and the other for Trojans).

Yes thats it nadirah..it seems teknum systems uses a very protective updater that doesnt like to be removed though there is a downloadable tool to disable it hidden away in thier privacy policy section at the handybits site.I remember i had to delete an ssmenu.dll to stop it reloading.It was years ago that this happened and to be honest i didnt know about any tool to disable it at that time.Personally after that experience and seeing how much the updater intrudes on a system i wouldnt touch it with a bargepole again.
