only a pleasure joan. I had serious problems with my pc and I discovered it was all caused by spyware. I got rid of the spyware and now no more problems. This is why I did the article.

Thanks for the advice! Another piece of advice that might be of interest some anti spyware software can cause problems.

We ran anti spyware on our pc last night and it kept on coming up with a problem about msn messenger. What was really weird was that we don't have msn installed on this machine. Luckily we found the cause and have sorted it out but anti spyware software is generally good but it can cause other irritating problems.
