The only potential problem I could see would be the AV scanner detecting and correcting/deleting an infected file in the repository. Be religious with backups and you should be able to correct any AV-induced corruption, although you might lose a submission or two. If your AV stuff is correctly setup and maintained, and your firewall protection is adequate, and your users are not idiots (which I admit is a lot of ifs) viruses ought not to be getting into the repository to begin with. -- ===================== Mark Roddy Windows 2003/XP/2000 Consulting Hollis Technology Solutions 603-321-1032 www.hollistech.com markr at hollistech.com
