Man, this was well worth the reading!
I know exactly how and when my son loaded this virus on my computer, and I am ashamed to admit it. . . .but just so others don't make the same mistake, he tried to download and install a Pro version of Limewire from the Gnutella network.
I know this because, (due to his incessant pirating) I purchased a keystroke logger. I have now locked him out of my machine.
I seem to have my old faithful back on line now, thanks to you wonderful people! Whoooooo-Hooooooooo!
