Just to let you two know ..... I had computer problems last night so not sure what today will bring.

I tried to download an unzip program and picked up both spyware and malware.

My Virus Checker said that forcing removal might make my computer crash so I left the stuff on here.

I will try to call my son later to ask him what I should do. After he tells me again that I should not download something without info on it, he will try to help me thru removing it. Oh well .... live and learn.

Oh, no! I hope your son can get your pc cleaned up.

I have a simple little (free) unzip program that I've had for years and every time I get a new computer, I install it. It's quick and easy and I've never had ANY problems with spyware or malware. It's very small - called "Zip Exploder".

Maybe when you get everything cleaned up you might check into that one?
