    Typically only idiots need help removing virus’s. I am an idiot and need better direction. You can’t say “delete this, delete that” without telling me where to find it. I don’t know how to get to the “registry”. However, I installed the AntiVirus threw your link and it removed the virus on its own. So, I am appreciative.

    Thanks!
