THANKS a lot.
The dang virus chewed up TWO computers after I put the disc into them and ran the "firewall". One is now perfectly healthy but the old Toshiba laptop isn't: can't find the restore CD as it's about five years old.
THANKS again for the info. Once Norton runs out (90 days) I'll probably buy a McAfee subscription. I'll never live a day again without protection. ...?
