OCD: I completely missed this reply until now, Monday afternoon. I'm nursing my husband after knee surgery, and apologize that things are moving more slowly.
Here's Output from cmd prompt ipconfig:

=====================================
Are your settings still being changed? (changed print settings, and changed home page)
Yes. I just logged on to a "blank page" instead of "yahoo.com."
I must still run the programs you requested, and will post those later this afternoon / evening, but wanted to respond to you because I haven't been able to get to it. I believe that most of the issues of malware have been cleared up, if not all. However, I am still running on a wireless connection and my goal is to be able to plug in to avoid some of the traffic. As noted, when I plugged in before, I experienced more problems. With your acknowledgement, I will plug in and test it.
