Holy frijoles, Quickstraw... that Housecalls scan must be super thorough!! It has taken over 16 minutes and is still only 68% done!! WHEW!! But so far it says I'm clean... YAAAAY!! Thank you SO much, zero!! If you're ever in southeastern Ohio, I'll buy you lunch! In the meantime, how 'bout I pay up by finding you a screencap for one of your cels! I'll try to do that later today. Thanks again for sharing your expertise... and making it easy enough for a computer dunce to follow!
(oh, and I guess I do need the zHotkey thing since I do have a fancy-schmancy keyboard that came with my MediaCenter Edition computer... I wish I actually did cool stuff that caused me to use those buttons! )
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

LOL shellie - yeah, it's a pretty thorough scan - I run it every couple weeks in addition to my AVG. ^_^
Oh and you're quite welcome! I honestly don't mind helping folks out with this stuff - as a matter of fact.. I do it all the time for family & friends at home. I will say this, though: it's easier when I'm the one in front of the computer, but I'm glad to know I didn't confuse the crap outta ya today!
I hope your scan turns up clean, but if not and ya need help - just drop by here again and let me know!
In the meantime.. I'd say we can celebrate that the spyware is gone! Wooo!
Squeaky clean, I am!! YeeHaaa!! Thanks again! I'm glad you enjoy helping out and that our cries for help don't just bug you ... cuz I certainly enjoy having you around! (For your sterling personality, not JUST your outstanding computer skills! ) My boys will be particularly happy... they get really frustrated when they get kicked out of the middle of their favorite CartoonNetwork and Nick.com games! (That's probably where I got the crazy virus in the first place!! They are on weird sites like cheatcodes and stuff... I think I've trained them well enough to stay away from the temptation to touch the "Click here to get a free PSP!!" banners, but they are click-around-everywhere guys. Oh the stuff I'm sure they'll stumble upon in their web travels!! )

Good work Zero, you truely are the computer Kami Like Shellie, I wouldn't have known where to go or what to do with such a bothersome 'glitch' that penetrated the defenses. Success

Erk... didn't think of that. Oh look, another virus. Must go take care of that.
*scampers away*
I meant that I was still learning about all these nasty stuff. My bro is my real IT Anti-virus/hacker guy now (sorta gets paid to do it, well not really but it sounds cooler). Mine is usually, "Hmm, stupid spyware/trojans/viruses. I'll fix you" *reformats entire computer* =D
haha! I certainly didn't take your comments badly... I am a computer jarjar binks and I know it! But here's the scarey part... whenever a computer goes wrong amongst our friends and family, everyone calls ME! True!! I know just enough to be dangerous. So if I'm JarJar Binks, what would I dub the rest of my extended family?? *snickersnicker* No, don't answer that one!
Interesting deduction. If you were, would you tell me?
