Hi Pam,

I'm sorry to hear about the problems you've had.  In the past I've had
problems, when I was using McAfee.  I would like to mention that I use
eTrust EZ Antivirus since that time, my system has detected any viruses and
deleted them.  (Knock on wood!)  It's only $9.00/year and you can download
off the internet.

Best Regards
Diane
