Thank you Mieke for the help and the barca.exe file. That file was missing and replacing it with the new one was all that was needed. I must express my appreciation for help received from Russ Harvey of http://www.russharvey.bc.ca/resources/pocomail.html. He helped me get better understanding of things and that has been a big help as well. Thank you franciscottzimmer for your comments. Malwarebytes wasn't able to restore the file as it had already deleted it. I can only presume that I may have hit delete when I should have hit restore.

Thank you Mieke. That's appreciated.

Thanks for your reply Mieke. If all that was deleted was the barce.exe then it follows that a fresh install of barca into a new directory, (probably on my E drive as barca is currently on C) would allow me to copy the barca.exe over to the original installation and preserve all my settings. This has them advantage of keeping it on the c drive as well. Would you aggree with my thinking or do you think I may have it wrong?

Well, I'm not very happy with Malwarebytes. Running barca2 on Windows 7 32 bit, I installed Malwarebytes and it has destroyed my Barca and seems unable to restore it. The worst of the problem is that three years of emails have gone down the drain it seems. finding false positives with a program that has been around as long as Barca is extremely disappointing. I hope you have some answers as I haven't been as lucky as alan_old student it seems.
