CrazyOne and sunray, I spent half hour on the list, not only looking for the obvious, but not so obvious.  I did not see sunray quick post.

As with most spyware, if you do not delete all the entries, it will be reinstall in the computer.

 

by: sunray_2003Posted on 2003-11-12 at 14:08:48ID: 9735174

Thanks war1....

You know most of the time posting similar comments happen and you know what once the questioner accepts the comment as an answer , we would be commenting again to know why the other experts comment was accepted an answer even though you had posted earlier.

We are just trying to avoid that situation
