Help!

Something is trashing my disk directories, and I don't think it's a virus,
because I have VirusX 3.20 running.  It seems to happen while I'm downloading
files, using either A-Talk III, Online 2.11, Azcomm, or JRComm. It's
happened to me three times in a row today, on different disks, and has
happened sporadically on other occasions, although I've always dismissed
it as flakey disks.  Now that I only use Sony's, I'm not as quick to dismiss
it...


There are a lot of programs I keep in my startup-sequence, so I will list
them here, and pray that someone who has had this problem, and discovered the
cause will be able to help me.  Meanwhile, I will have to go and systematically
check each program... (AHHHH!!!!!!)
 
Here goes:
----------

Kickstart 1.2
Workbench 1.3 ( 34.20 )
RAD: 
dmouse
setfont 2.0
Fast Fonts
Gomf 3.0
VirusX 3.2
SetPatch
setclock,setmap usa1
spudclock
snipit V1.2
JR-Beep
muddlebar
Facc II

Thanks everybody, I'm gonna start removing things from my startup-sequence
and see if it helps.  It sounds like something falls into the sinister
Delay 0 bug...
