This procedure seemed to work. I had to run in safe mode and do the scan two
times, one as administrator and one as owner. It still didn't get rid of
edow. I went into temp files and deleted the program files for edow. That
worked at least for now. Thanks for the info. I will store the info in case
I need to use it for other matters.
