I know that they issued an update a tear ago that crippled the PC. The update caused you to
get a background picture but no destop and icons.

The software makeer of StopZilla admitted there was a problem and a newer update was issued
to correct the problem. However in the PC's current state it was difficult to install the
update.

I have no respect for StopZilla.

Thanks Dave,
Stopzilla advertises as a Free program but it is ordinary payware.

Wow! Thanks David! I always wondered what that was. How on earth does one
get to know these things!
