Oh my! Thank you!
I didn't realize I had been taken over for real.

The news articles seem to point to exactly what is happening to me.

I am still reading the articles but at the same time, I'm trying the
softwares you suggested! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

Do you think my shutting down the computer after 30 seconds to a minute of
the windows going bonkers on me protected me somewhat from their attacks or
did they already do their damage?

I'm running programs one by one.

Ad-Aware SE Personal found the "Win32.Hacktool.ToolEvid" critical with a
"TAC" rating whatever that is, of 3, saying "Object EvID4226Patch.exe found
in this archive".

It's still scanning but that's the first it found.

===================>
If you need further help you can post at my group - - - No Trolls
there because it is my group and I don't allow them. The troll trash
talkers tend to be attracted to helpers and persons needing help.
Mental disturbances perhaps. This gets too annoying sometimes at
public news groups or forums that are unsupervised. I don't put up
with and run several groups as well as our own website group. Just
visit this group and click "Post" or you can also register to join:

Which group should one choose? I can't tell the differences
from the names.

Thanks for the URL. It actually works.

You can always tell it's a real bad exploit when MICROSOFT stops all
their "You must enable Active-X and let us scan your computer"
bull****.
