What can I say... You have been beyond helpful.
It's funny as I think about the whole experience… And a bit embarrassing.
The reason I say that is because I work in the IT field (coming up on 20 years now) and though I am a network guy now there was a time when I was a MCSE and took pride in being able to make about anything work on a PC or server.
Now I am just thankful that you guys can commit the time to keep up on this ever growing and evolving nuisance.
Six or eight months ago you could run Ad-Aware or X-Cleaner or the like to get rid of the peskiest of spyware. Now it has evolved to the point where it’s a full time job to keep up with the pests and the suite of apps you need to clean them off your machine.

Thanks again for the help. I have gotten lax and probably a bit arrogant in regard to the threat. I have a good majority of the apps you have recommended on my machine, I have just turned them off for various reasons and they never got turned back on.
I will be more diligent now.
Thanks again for the help.
Jerry
