    Thanks everyone, I knew I could rely on you lot for answers :T


    It's Wannado webmail and an account that I rarely use as it does get a certain amount of spam and advertising rubbish but I check it every couple of weeks and always wonder whether I can open things or not. I usually delete everything but the Zone Alarm one threw me a bit.

    Thanks for all your advice, really appreciated :T ..........even yours Intel :rolleyes: :D
    Just run, run and keep on running!
