    Thanks Malke I'm going to work with all of your suggestions. I pulled up
    elephantboy computers and printed off the "Generic Trojan / Adware Removal
    Procedure" just after my post. Will that be enough to assure that I'm 100%
    clean? If not, post more info then. Going on vacation next week so it will
    be a while until I get this thing straightened out.

    Yes, I'm ashamed at how messy I let my mailbox get! Just have too many
    friends with too many jokes and not enough time to keep up after I sort out
    the important stuff. What is it that you prefer to use for mail?

    Thanks for your help thus far!
