Hi Jo:
First of all, thanks so much for replying.

I have DONE EVERYTHING YOU SUGGESTED I DO.

We got yet another virus. And trojans, and WHATEVER THE LORDS OF DARKNESS decided to throw on my poor computer.

I ran the Super Professional Anti-spyware and knocked out 69 trojans (bad bad bad). and a virus.

This morning, my computer would not boot up. I ran it in safe mode.

I tried to go online. NOTHING WORKED.

Alan, did a re-configuring. That got my computer to go to a place where all bad computers need to go to be spanked.

I then had to re-install all my peripherals that is attached to my computer.

Then I discovered that the virus wiped out Verizon Internet Security Suite.

So I had to call up Verizon Tech Supprt and they helped me re-install it.

Then we found out the virus wiped out my ability to use Outlook express.

The Tier 1 guy at Verizon spent one hour trying to re-configure my Outlook Express.

I then said: "Do you mind connecting me to a another Tier person".

he said: "I think you're right'.

In two seconds, I had a Tier 3 person on the line, and she fixed the whole Outlook Express in 5 seconds flat. It seems that the number in the port should have been 110 and not 995.

That was THE PROBLEM!! The tier 1 guy did not know the problem.

She did.

GOD LOVE THAT TIER 3 WOMAN.

She came on the line and I told her "I love you!!!

She burst out laughing.

I am now going to shoot my husband when he comes home.

If you think I'm kidding, you don't know me.

He has a habit of going on these ad websites and clicking on everything in sight.

I told him the last time "If I have to spend any more time with Verizon tech people, I'm going to kill you".

Right now, he's at the Orthopedist so I can't be TOOOOO MAD AT HIM.

But if he comes home and says 'my foot is just fine (oh, he's walking in the door right now, let's see if I should kill him????)

His foot is fine.


I'M GOING TO KILL HIM

GOODBYE!!!

lol
