Significant Technical Input
Exclamation Just because it's running...

...doesn't mean it's up to date. I have Norton AV configured to run al the time and to auto update evrything. I've found out in the past that it's a good idea to occasionally update it manually. After reading this thread this morning I remembered that I hadn't done that in a while and when all was said and done it had found three instances of Backdoor (trojan) in my system. Been there since 12/7 (must have happened while I was drinking Kamikazes... )

I guess what I'm getting at is for y'all to check for your updates manually and re-run Norton, just in case. It's been a few years since the last time I was whacked (chat room bast***) and it took about 22 hours to reload and reconfig.
