Niel,

Thanks again

1. I installed AVG because something was wrong with Symantec and i

did not want to take the time to debug that proble with this other

hanging over my head. I am inclined to uninstall Symantec and stick

with AVG, it is simpler and trouble-free. Money is no object but i

a not sure that AVG is as good as AVG.

2. As I step along in your instructions I periodically check the

browser to see if a. the version shows up in "Help/About" and if

"Printpreview" shows something other than a blank page... no

change.

3. I did not run the online scan for the reason you guessed. the

browser would not perform the link.

4. This computer is unattended and physically unavailable to me but

I have online access via "LogMeIn". I see nothing in these latest

instructions to boot in "Safe Mode" so iI would guess that I can

perform these steps remotely. If I reboot and am not able to get

back to the PC it is no big deal. What do you think?

5. By the way, in your instructions to boot into safe mode is it

acceptable to boot "Safe Mode With Networking"?

6. I would surely like to understand what your are up to here... is

there any book or online help that I can use to educate me? I am

more of a programmer (ACCESS, et al) and networker than one who

gets into or enjoys this kind of work. If it were not a friend I

would not have taken it on. I am curious though.This is new to me.

I was unaware of "HiJack This" until i found this site.

I will await yur reply before I take this on remotely..

thanks again, gsf
