George,
Thanks for the help. However, my antivirus software
stopped working since I tried reinstalling it to see if
it would find the virus and I ended up needing to
update/install the virus definitions; and since I can't
get online anymore, I can't use the software to eliminate
anything. Now what???
Thanks anyway for trying to help. I think I'm up the
creek...
