  Ad-aware is a good program. Another one is Search And Destroy.

  I just sent a PM to Frannie, and THEN I read this thread. Okay, Simon to the rescue again.

  It's so nice to have my computer running normally again.

  Whereas LavaSofts AdAware is pretty thorough in cleaning up an infested machine I'd suggest you ALSO have a look at a programme called Spybot SD. It can be found here. Interestingly enuf it will often find some more critters, even after you've run the Lavasoft thingy. Anyway, I use both. Just my .

  Amazing, what I have found with Hotmail its just not as secure as it once was. I prefer to use the one provided by the ISP. Just a thought.

  I have been missing alot of my e-mails from Hotmail too. Maybe as you someone is getting into my files. etc

  I thought Hotmail was starting to limit email storing capacity. This may be the problem, something new. I didn't read the whole thing since I use it once in awhile only.
