Thanks for your replies. Domestic pressures have eased slightly enabling me to get back to you. Sorrry for the delay.

Thanks for the link to the AVG anti rootkit scanner. I've downloaded that and it didn't reveal any malign influences which was a relief as you can no doubt imagine.
tallsandwich (wonderful name!)...............
Thanks for the offer to interpret the Root Kit Revealer results. The AVG scan was kind enough to do the legwork for us.
Having suffered the unwanted attentions of the less well socially adjusted members of 'cyber society' in the past, I've become familiar with most types of attack but I'd never heard of the Root Kit problem.
That's another bit of knowledge I can use when it happens again................ and it will happen again!
How about Cyber ASBOs? (One for JetBlast, I think)
Ta!
