Well, after 24 hours of trying, I finally eradicated the spyware that invaded my computer through the 2020Search that wiped out my employment page. Ton's suggestion was a great one, but it didn't work for me this time (I am grateful for his help). I found a couple of programs that would remove it. One actually told you how to manually remove it but, for $39.95 would do it for you. I found another for $19.95 that did it and found things the other program did not. I think my computer has just undergone a high colonic, LOL. The program I finally purchased is at http://www.scanspyware.net Even though I knew I didn't have a virus, I still felt like my computer was tantamount to being HIV+, and I wanted to practice safe computing. Thanks to Liz and Ton for their suggestions. It's awful to have to do so much to stay a safe contributing member, but better safe than sorry. ===== Indigo Nights [log in to unmask] ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
