    Thanks David. However we will not be removing the malware until we find out
    what the long distance provider is willing to do. I CANNOT believe that the
    police do not consider this a criminal act! The CRTC won't force the phone
    companies to do anything about it because it is considered a competitive
    industry (and therefore exempt from regulation? wtf?). The phone companies
    don't care because they're making money off this. The more I look into
    this, the angrier I get (I feel a Norma Rae coming on). I wonder how
    widespread this problem is?

    <deep breath> Thanks for listening!

    p.s. I'll let you know what happens with the PC when we eventually clean it
    up. Until then...no internet for him!
