FWIW, I found the same unchecked item yesterday.....found a different
one a week or so ago. Have no clue how they got unchecked.

I run SuperAntiSpyware and Spybot weekly.....neither of these reacted to
the unchecked malware name. Nor did they find anything to write home
about other than the usual cookies that I know well and often remove
manually.

So I don't think running the two programs you mention will do much good.
I suppose I will go to SpywareBlaster and ask them.

OOPS!! Motzarella wasn't sending (I thought) and switched to aioe.org,
but even tho the other 2 are not in my sent folder, they obviously got
posted.

And I still say that the unchecked malware is nothing to worry about

Thanks Dustin.......I got into a bit of a fugue/funk/tropical
depression?.....grin, for way too long. All is relatively OK here.
Keeping a close eye on R.

Will write soon......also got into designing jewellery, so not on here
quite as much.

Hugs.....Heather
