Maybe too soon to declare victory but so far today there are no entries in the
trojan vault (AVG).
I used the reset button on the back of the D-Link to save time. After that all
you have to do is to follow the directions and a few instructuion in the book.
As I said one thing at a time and it appears this might have been the answer.
the pox on trying to get back to eMule except by the slow way, maybe.
