Hi Chris........ I still keep my hand in on the anti-virus and anti-malware groups so will suggest a free program that is invaluable. MBAM (MalwareBytesAnti-Malware). I run it every couple of days. I no long use AdAware or Spybot (they both got bloated) but still keep Spywareblaster on here. It just sits on the desktop and is supposed to stop spyware from landing on your computer. It doesn't run as well without Spybot S & D on here, but that one was taking way too long to scan. AVG is not getting such good reviews any more. I have used another freebie called Avast! for a couple of years now. I will provide the links for all of the above. I am quite happy with Avast, but have to admit the interface can be a bit confusing when I go to run a manual scan (don't worry, it auto-updates). http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php MBAM http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/ SPYWAREBLASTER http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download AVAST AV Hope this helps, but I highly urge all of you to download MBAM, update it and run it. Only takes about 4 minutes on this machine and I find it to be one of the very best. But no one antivirus or antimalware program gets ALL of the spyware, etc. Cheers.........Heather "CM Codrington" <cmcod@optimum.net> wrote in message news:mailman.177.1264734384.1999.caribbean@rootsweb.com... > > > To all of you on the list: > > I'm pleased we found the problem and in the process were delivered a > detailed reminder of why effective security starts with each of us.
