...a recommendation based on his comment in the previous entry.
Go here and download AVG antivirus. It's free, as are the updates, and is very effective!
I also suggest going here to get AdAware SE, a free spyware remover. Also very good.
The source of the "trojan horse" that blitzed my ex-computer was a program I was given by a "friend" who swore up and down that it had been checked and was clean. I didn't scan it with AVG before I opened it.
Yeah, I'm a dummy.

Hi MrScribbler, I have both Avenge free personal, and the AdAware when I got my new/old computer last summer. It's been working great. *hugss* from Sunny
I have adaware are it RULES the roost.
I have Adaware, Spybot Search and Destroy, a-squared, and Microsoft Anti-Spyware, along with Zone Alarm. I am also behind a router. All of this did not prevent the laptop from getting a trojan, but I was able to remove it.
I have not used any antivirus programs since the trial ran out on the laptop a year and a half ago, and not before then.
I hope I don't get a fnqji
dal...I'm more afraid of lrrdsrbo, myself. It's staring at me right now, waiting for me to push the button....
Ms Draggs -- try downloading these goodies and letting them work on Norman...after that, he might be a new 'puter!
Worth a try, anyway.
