Thanks notdarkyet… I recieve the email and put your email into my ‘friends’ list. I cannot imagine that your email will be so different from your forum name here… and the message subject was so confusing with virus in the wild of these days.

But, looking the picture I can see you were talking about the Yahoo IM and not about avast. Sorry, I misunderstood you… I do not use YIM so I think I cannot help you too much… The read-only could be associated of other programs (or files) but it remains as ‘default’ in the browse window of association. Or, another guess from me, it could ‘Open as read-only’ the ashQuick.exe security (to not be changed)…
