My big apologies OIC for not getting back to you earlier- I've been meaning to but have been very busy working on the big list of observing targets for July/Aug which I just posted in the obs. forum last night.
Thank you so much for your help via pm- I appreciate it.
Yes I still have the virus- it's very annoying! We've just bought Norton's & have it running but it didn't pick up the virus. Russ is determined to re-load the computer- wasn't something I wanted to do lightly as it's such a huge process by the sounds. He said it's no use putting Norton's on without re-loading the computer as there could be viruses it doesn't pick up that are already existent- which is what's happened. So I'm going to be busy backing up stuff for a while in readiness for it.
Many thanks Andrew- I will look into what you suggested.
You guys are the best!
