The symptoms only started some week ago or two ... I rather wonder about that f-secure scanner "fsav" ... I had to manually fiddle it onto the system and it takes quite much ram and cpu. But it is installed since june 2009 as well. > I seem to get into more trouble when I'm cautious with updates than I do > when I just let 'em rip as often as possible.

I have quite many servers out there at customers sites ... noone so far pays me for regularly emerging world there ... this has to change, you are right ;-) Stefan
