Dennis

What are your anti-spyware arrangements?

I suggest you download and run Spybot S & D (freeware version). There
is a freeware version buried in this link:

Hope this helps.

Hello,

You may also want to do a free spyware scan/remover by running
SuperAntispyware from
http://www.superantispyware.com
(the free HOME edition is sufficient for your needs)

Another good scanner and remover is MalwareBytes Anti-Malware
