Hi Graham,

I tried the  $ sudo cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins 
I get this message
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System 
Administrator.  It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Oh err nice message... they think im spiderman.... :)

Just to update everyone I have now found the location of the log file that 
holds the logon appemts to my machine. because im using suse I was looking 
through yast and found View System log. I had a look at this & found that 
someone has been trying to log on using various logon names:
Jan 14 16:12:10 linux sshd[8377]: Did not receive identification string 
from ::ffff:213.223.64.10

Jan 14 16:12:51 linux sshd[8658]: Invalid user proba from ::ffff:213.223.64.10

I have now set my firewall to only allow ssh during scheduled times. 

Thanks for everyones help... My other issue with Apache has now been fixed. I 
need to start looking at the config files rather than using webmin or Yast..

Cheers

Dave...
