Hawk, I have malwarebytes already, should I download the other two also? I wish you were here so you could help me....
PS, I don't open up ANYTHING anymore, even email attachments that people send me... I got caught once, never again.
Kathie, what are you using as an anti virus program now? Be advised that running some programs like McAfee and Norton on the same system may cause issues.

I mainly run Security Essentials and Malwarebytes on all my computers. I run superspyware every so often just to see what it can pick up and it also cleans out the cookies.

I will be heading down over Thanksgiving weekend but as of now I am not sure what day I will be leaving here and arriving there.

Geek Squad is a unit from Best Buy and here in Ohio I think it is $75.00 per hour for a home visit. Personally I have never used them but my niece recently bought her first computer from Best Buy and they sold her a lot of things she did not need. Next time she will check with her uncle first.
