Thank you sir. For some reason, my firewall wasn't
checked off, which I thought I had done. I've got the
Norton Antivirus 2004 and I do the Windows Updates. One
thing I hadn't done in a while is the Norton Full System
Scan. A mistake I will not make in the future. An ounce
of prevention is worth.... I forget the rest. Thanks
again.
