Freakin' sweet!
Thanks so much, Angelfire777. I apologize for the delay (after we reset the router we had trouble reconfiguring the connection and had to call the ISP). Vimax no more! I get a few redirects that IE can't find ad's websites, but Firefox does not seem to have that problem, so I will stick with that browser. I am also no longer blocked from McAfee updates and am back up to date.

Thanks especially for taking the time to make your extra notes on Viewpoint and Java. Really, that is above and beyond.

So, here are the steps I took since last night:

1. Removed Viewpoint software with no issues.
2. Reset the router and reconfigured the connection.
(Now places where ad banners usually are are blank or have errors. Ok by me...)
3. Uninstalled old Java and followed your instructions to download and install latest, then delete the old files. I will look into setting auto updates on Java.

My question is, do you know what causes these issues, and can we do anything to prevent them from recurring? Perhaps a PM that I might get with my TSF subscription? :)

Either way, once again, you saved the day.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am definitely donating!
