MANY, MANY THANKS from a grateful 70 yr old Senior Citizen...as soon as I ran RuunThis.bat it solved the problem. I appreciate your advice and apologize for my naivety in posting my e-mail address, guess I'm just too trusting. I will also be more careful in where I go on the internet. I have Norton 2006 and Spybot and Adaware, should I run the 3 all the time or is Norton enf? Any advice, will be much appreciated.

Again, many thanx!

You're welcome. Is Ad-Aware the paid or free version? If free, it is only a scanner and provides no protection. Spybot is a scanner and does provide some protection. Yes you need an antivirus and antispyware too. You also need a software firewall. Everything you need to know is covered in the below.

If you are not having any other malware problems, you should work thru the below link:
