Broni thanks again ... I will get the scan done as soon as I can get my husband off the computer ... sometimes I think he is glued to it ... everything appears to be running fine and Kaspersky is behaving itself ... its not giving off any warnings and going crazy ...the pulsing I mentioned in my previous post is normal, guess its when Kaspersky is working or doing something .... will post the log files as soon as I can get near the computer and run the tests ... thanks again !
