BTW, forgot to mention - I tried to run the panda activescan, but it keeps aborting in the middle for no apparent reason & no results file is generated. Worked fine on another PC I have.
In any case, before it dies, it does report finding 230 some adware items (assume browser cookies etc, my other PC had a similar # of these), but also 2 viruses (!) but mcafee doesn't seem to detect them & the report is never generated so no idea what specific viruses these are....
Thanks for any suggestions...
