Robin, I again apologize for not coming back after Aug. 16. It was a busy time here in my home, grandkids, etc. My online time was very limited. I truly am sorry. This is NOT how we hope this forum will work, I promise. I truly feel the problem WAS a false positive because of the older version of Spybot.
I do hope this will not chase you away, I will be more vigilant. I promise.

Judy,

There is no need to apologize and I was not being sarcastic in my thanks. I've learned the hard way that in dealing with the "evil doers" of the computer world the course is never straight forward. Specifically, you made me aware of the need to keep things up-to-date and your confirmation of the false positive with explanation really did make me feel more comfortable. I have something less than full confidence in what I get from Microsoft. On the one hand Clearsearch.net seemed to do nothing but appear in the scan but on the other hand I didn't feel particularly good about having something lerking in the background tracking my every move.

I also appreciate the time and patience that computerfolks like you donate to help the computer-challenged like me in our time of need. If my comments were a little tart, it reflects my frustration more than anything else.

Thanks again,
Robin

Sure didn't mean that your comments were anything than what they were, comments. I WAS remiss in not checking back. You are right, one key thing in keeping your clean and running well is keeping and eye on your updates. Even though many can be set to automatic there are many programs out there that just don't let you know if there is a newer version available. I always try to run the newest version of programs, this way you usually can be sure that little holes have been filled and things like these false positives have been corrected. Don't be a stranger.
