All the checkme runs "kb23980scan.exe" with "127.0.0.1" on the end to just check the local machine. It exists, after you run the CD in the folder "MSU_Virus_Tools" that should have been created on their C drive. I double checked that right now and it looks to work fine. We use this when people call the help line (we just tell them to go to the folder and read to us what it says as a confirmation of whether the patch was installed correctly). /Scott Scott G.
