I have now gone to McAfee and have had no viruses and no Trojans at all, yet this is the direct opposite of your own experience.

Also........I'm interested to know what virus scanner you're using Melody for this nasty to have got through onto your computer.

The Anti-spyware thing that the guy downloaded is called

Super Professional Anti Spyware.
He did all the work. I just sat back and watched while my computer downloaded this BIG program and it did it's thing.

He said that they allow the Verizon Internet Security Suite Users to use this. I don't remember the website. The next time I run a scan, I'll look for the website and let you know.

I can only hope that this thing is off of my computer for good.

Melody

P.S. I just googled Super Professional Anti Spyware, and it gave me a link. I went there and it says 'FORBIDDEN, error".

I think this is a particular website that the guy from Verizon, well, that he knew how to access.

But it got good reviews. Do a google and you'll see what I'm talking about.
