    Many thanks Tony excellent way of showing us non-techies how to remove what looks like a malware attack! I think we are all justified in criticising this and the way its been executed.

    Good info. Now I know who to ask when my computer tells me mysterious things.

    Hmm. Wonder if they'll do that here in the states. Why is it that the more they try to dumb down Windows, the more difficult it becomes?

    This is good to know - I like the screen shots too!
