ISP is Namesco(prev NDO), who have not given me any problems before (approx 9yrs). I have subsequently spoken to them and did disable my Virus checker (The Shield - US based - found last year when trying to find alternative to Norton www.pcsecurityshield.com/).

I am now getting messages through but have apparently lost the ones behind the one that got stuck :-( (will be trying to find if they have been stored in recesses of computer somewhere).

Don't know if this should continue on this thread but as Shield was coming to end of first year I could go for a different, recommended , anti virus package. Suggestions welcome.

Cheers
