An invisible virus

well, Muchas merci to everyone. Glad I got rid of the cookies at least =) And now that I've got an inkling as to what went wrong I can go away and let you deal with fewer than 18 pages of cookies (I swear, they will be emptied out at least once a month, I promise).

If you use that SpywareBlaster program they won't even get onto the computer in the first place. It is a SUPER program, doesn't run in the background but DOES keep a lot, if not most, of those you had from even getting on the computer.

I have been using a small standalone freebie called ReadOnly.exe to easily scan and change the 'read-only' attributes of files and folders so since I didn't see the utility being available anymore, you are welcome to download it from here where I am attaching...

Good Luck,
