Kill sophos seems to have sorted it ;)

It is supposed to be just anti-virus, but there are various references to
allowed programs, and no means of changing them. But since IE is not even
enabled on the machine and I can't get to the internet anyway .....

Part of the problem MAY have been that the machine was originally running FB1,
which was disabled to allow using FB2 but not removed in case I needed to
backtrack. I suspect that the reboot over night may not have started properly
either so I've removed FB1 and also 'FIBS' as well so that only FB2 is
present. But that did not work on it's own so something from sophos as well.
