Hi Daemon :D Yipeeeeeeee :D Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm so glad I found this site !!!!!! Rest assured–I will be sending a donation to help the "cause" . I guess in one way I should be thankful that this "nasty" did not jump to my other networked computers. My next project will be to install the prevention items listed on the main page here (SpywareBlaster, SpywareGuard, etc.) on all four of my machines. I am VERY grateful for all the help and guidance you have provided. Take care and be well, Zack
You're welcome - glad to help :D
