| Thankyou so much for your detailed explanation of ADS, though I must

|
| Luckily I have A FAT formatted computer - what a relief.
|
| ADS's sound scarey.
|
| Norton is continuing to warn of the Hacktool.Rootkit virus in the
| SVKP.sys file. Thankfully to David Lipman and yourself I am wiser and I
| think I can ignore it. I'll wait a bit to see if Norton adjusts its
| scan for virus. I can always remove Tweak XP which will take away the
| SVKP.sys file.

Make sure you have the latest NAV signatures !

The Norton virus definitions dated 10/26/2005 do not flag SVSK.sys as
a hacktool.rootkit anymore. Whew!!

Thanks for sharing that! I had wiped it and the registry entries just in
case but that is good to know that it might have been a false positive.
