thank you
you have been very kind in replying to my silly questions

i did a virus scan and came up negative....

thats great to hear that 241 is normal....i heard that if it gets to high it could wear down and eventually destroy the system., that had me concerned,.
i do virus scans costantly and my mcaffre av went out of date so iam now using avg anti-virus
i wont take up anymore of your time and thanks again for the advice
