yes I am updating malwarebytes right now (slow damn dial-up takes forEVER) and will run my scans
he's here on DU and I sent him the link to this thread so he can get the same info. good idea for code word in the subject line.

I have malwarebytes and microshit security essentials - loading something else today would sure be a pain, do you think those two will catch whatever I might have picked up?
