| Bert,
| Housecall ran clean.  Isn't this considered to be a good online virus
| scan?
|
| Ad-Aware found the the files I mentioned earlier are from vendor VX2,
| but it could not remove them either.
|
| Spybot found CoolWWWSearch but could not remove that either.  I ran
| the SmartKiller MiniRemoval tool but it reported that "v1/v2 has not
| been found on your system."
