Thanks Don,

AV is Norton 360. Scan shows nothing nasty.
Browser is IE6. I don't know anything about System Restore.

Cannot delete file

When I try to delete this old Foxpro file, I eventually get (after a long
delay) :-

"Cannot delete NOMERRS.FPT: Data error (cyclic redundancy check) "

How do I delete it ?

Is there a way to block a sender from ALL the newsgroups I subscribe to,
rather than having to block him/her in every newsgroup separately ?
