Hi David,

Thanks again for your reply. The file was named Splat\Splat~Full~Set
up.Part01.exe which was deleted automatically at the end of the AVG scan.

It was the first of 12 rar file parts, but seeing as the rest would be no
good without the launcher (Part01) to rebuild the whole file again, she has
deleted the folder. So am unable to extract :O(

Splat is a plug-in for Jasc's Paint Shop Pro.

She has, however, got a copy of the folder on a dvd-r, and although she is
loathe to copy it back onto her pc, she was going to see if she can browse
to it on the dvd and try send to the virustotal.com site you listed above.

Highest regards,

Terry :O)
