Robear:
It's too late. The Dell notebook was picked 1.5 hrs ago :-(
I am sorry I did not submit samples to AVERT Webimmune and Virus Total !
https://www.webimmune.net/default.asp
http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html
I know of a guy in Blegium who was trying to erradicate the Beavis and I never put the two
together.
This has been an experience I am definitely learning some new lessons on !
