Doug,

 DC> Thanks Daryl!  I'll check it out.  Did you have to disable/set any

  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.
