    DC> Thanks Daryl!  I'll check it out.  Did you have to disable/set any   
    DC> features / advanced settings that prevented iobit from reading every   
    DC> .EXE prior to allowing it's execution?  I noticed AVAST doing that with   
    DC> any online game loaded, MIS being launched, etc... I could not find a   
    DC> setting to leave the BBS directory alone .. so just deleted it.  I like   
    DC> iobit products.  I use their driver update tool, which is free as a   
    DC> beta right now, that has been a huge time saver compared to going to   
    DC> the manufacturers support page and manually downloading and updating   
    DC> them.   
      
     Let me try this again. I had more than one QWK packet, and I zapped the   
   REP packet  -- I think it's too early in the day. :P   
      
     First, I've never seen a setting of such with IObit. It does have 3    
   scanning options:   
      
   1) Smart Scan - scans only the critical file areas of the system.   
   2) Full Scan - scans the entire system.   
   3) Custom Scan - scans what file or directory you specify.   
      
     Second, in the past, I've used McAfee, F-Prot, CA Internet Security, and   
   Fix-It Utilities, for my virus scanners. Too bad that there isn't a command   
   line scanner one can use for new uploads to the BBS. I also used to run the   
   THDPro program, which allowed me to process new uploads immediately.
