OK that took care of the entry in the add-remove programs. Tonight, Malwarebytes detected some 40-plus instances of the Vundo trojan. The...
Thanks. I got something to send you this time--pretty big actually for a txt file. Its already on teh way to that address.
Sorry same thing. I got the batch file created. I clicked on it, saw what looked like a DOS window open up, and then the peek text was...
