Reply #21: Thanks for the links. I watched a little of the youtube one, for now, and the first product

referenced for removal is Avast - which I have (the free one). I notice no one ever talks about Avast. Someone recommended it to me. I've had a few alarms go off - more so for e-mail. It immediately shows a window that allows me to click delete. This is a great step, imo, as I despise programs that are supposed to be helping me, but instead take over and I don't know if the problem is getting worse or whether I was duped further. Especially, when the product I'm using is not exactly a household name. So far, I can endorse Avast.

I envy all you people who know how to interpret all this stuff.

I keep looking for a class at a Community College or someplace that just covers security for the beginners like me - haven't found one yet and I'm in/near a big city.
