as probably happened to all of us and most possibly a virus and not hacking; virus programs do not stop everything.

You could have something there Buck ,,, that would mean I am still vunerable ,,, Maybe it was the perfect storm effect to which I did things in sequence that enabled the virus to hit ,,, not savvy on IT ,,, just hope it doesn't happen again ,,,

Take Care ,,, Mike

on my last computer I had a very good, according to ratings, virus program plus 2 malware detector programs and still had some problems. A 'puter dude at school looked into it and found a virus. Go figure. Folks were getting all kind of false emails from me and I from them. If hacking was involved I would imagine that my bank account and debit card would have been toyed with. Anyway, have a great Xmas and I still owe you a beer when you make it to Daytona.

Brother Mike,
Download anti-malware from http://www.malwarebytes.org/. Make sure you update before to run and run it at least once a day. If you received an email that you don't recognize the sender - delete it. When download anything - make sure you scan it before opening. I'm using McAfee security software - no one security software is perfect but this one seems to work for me. This should help keep most of the virus out of you system. Peace, Hellboy
