Hal:
Keep the URLs. Both SYSCLEAN.COM and the Pattern Files are updated. The Pattern Files can
be updated 1 to three times per day. SYSCLEAN.COM has a longer period between updates. So
keep the URLs and download when you need to.

| Hi David,
| Happy Holiday to you!!!
| Used the Trend Micro utilities and Ad-Aware SE
| They didn't do the trick with Wild Tangent, but did find a pair of trojans.
| I now have a system that is the cleanest it has ever been.
| I'll keep Sysclean around for future use.
| Thanks again.
