Thanks, Jupiter and Shenan (and Sandi, too)
I'm working through the suggestions to try and rid my XP
machine of this VX2.

Will do more about looking into the XP firewall and try to
figure out if the Microsoft broadband firewall is set up
as tightly has it should be.

CWShredder WAS the only thing that worked on Cool Web a
few months ago.

Thanks again.
