Allow me to be the first to say this...
And I know I’ll get trashed — but it HAS to be done... ;)

Glad you’re back up and running; take care and thanks for sharing the issues you had.

That whole "independent thought" thing is way over rated.
I’ve been using ESET Nod32 for almost a year now. Only one trojan ever got through and a scan eliminated that. I also have superantispyware and that takes care of all the adware. I’m a happy camper with both of them.
