Thank you Margaret. That was the first virus I ever had since being on the internet. As soon as I was aware that my computer had been infected, I shut it down. I installed a new anti-virus program, deleted some files and hopefully the new program will do a better job than the old one I had. I hope everyone will clean their computer so this virus will stop. I was totally unaware that I had been infected and apologize to anyone I might have caused a problem. Take care.
