   In case anybody didn't know about it, there's a    
   remnant from some popular virus scanner that gives    
   you a growing file that eventually gets big enough    
   to matter.   
      
   c:WINDOWS/system32/drivers/fidbox.dat   
      
   It's harmless to delete (and will grow again over    
   a period of months) but you have to be in safe    
   mode.   
      
   A smaller one   
      
   c:WINDOWS/system32/drivers/fidbox.idx   
      
   can be deleted at the same time.   
      
   The feature stays there long after the virus    
   scanner has gone.   
      
   It's worthwhile to check if you have them.
