Robert: this really isn't the right place for me to do tech support,
so please feel free to call me at (212)-889-6431 or FAX me at
(212)-889- 9730 for future tech support.

This sounds like an interesting kinda problem, though: is your
FLUSHOT.DAT file > 2048 bytes (sounds unlikely with only 15 program
entries)? What program does it appear to hang on (during the checksum
scan)?

I'll have to ask you some more questions before I can help further,
but I'm always available for tech support at the above number(s).

Finally, you should also coinsider updating to Version 1.81, the most
recent version. It has some extra security, some bug fixes and a nifty
scan program, a demo of my commercial VIREX-PC product's scanner.
