Just joined after locating site to get rid of a "your computer is infected" spyware virus thing. Followed the instructions and downloaded the recommended malware removal and so far (all of 5 minutes) it has seemed to work. Thanks for providing this invaluable info. Now, If I could just get an address of the idiot who produces this virus, me and "my little friend" would like to say hello to them.
Glad it helped you and you were able to solve you're problem.
