Ramesh,

Thanks for the tip. It worked!! It's the second malware
I had to remove. First one was acting on my Outlook
Express - I couldn't see my emails.

The question is . . . do you know of a software that
detects malware? I'm running Norton Antivirus and . . .
it is obvious it doesn't find it!

Thanks a million again!

Dan
