[Guest]

hi bob - i started going thur ur instructions, i have a couple things i
wanted to ask you. you mentioned that under the services tab...that i will
want to identify microsoft items, what do i do if i find other items? also i
downloaded the items you had listed (the ones that were'nt downloads i saved
the pages in my favorites) the first one i went to install "the toolbar cop"
i saved it to my desktop then scanned for any viruses, when i went to open
the zip file i rcvd the msg that it was a .exe file and did i really want to
open well i clicked yes i did, right after that my mcafee popped up and said
it was a suspicious script and what did i want to do? well i wasnt sure so i
stopped it. i dont know much about the "suspicious script" msgs and have only
rvcd a few of them and not knowing i always have stopped them..
continued in next msg......

i also downloaed the ie-spyad but am a little confused on how to tell if it
there/working/ ?? i read the text document and that didnt help me on the
confusion? i have never really messed around in anything having to do with
the registry due to the fact that i rcvd a msg one time saying basically if
you change things it could mess up your system (if you dont know what your
doing and i didnt/dont) so since then i have been shall we say afraid to go
there a do anything....

im still working on the items you had in your reply to me and once again
above and beyond the call of duty....you can probably tell i dont have a
vast amt of knowledge with all this (this is my first computer) i really
appreciate thou the way you explained the "doc file" scenerio and also the
registry changes, i could understand that, you seem to have alot of
knowledge/info and you explain things that a person learning is able to
understand. instead of the typical "techno jargon" that only exp people
understand. thx again for all the help.
