Hi Wes,

No that didn't do it because it was a webspy worm causing the problem.
Amazingly running Norton in safe mode and doing its virus scan did the trick
when running the same program in regular did not. HMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Sometimes running in Safe Mode allows deletion of baddies because they
aren't running. Glad to hear you got rid of it.
