Thanks stradee.
I've learned you have to maintain you computer like you do your car.
I did a "system restore" last week. I followed the tutorial. It was easy but I still fell like I had learned something.
Then my speakers wouldn't work so I went through another tutorial. Man, They had me doing all sorts of thing. I thought I was hacking into Nasa. Finally I said "To hell with this".
Later on I stumbled onto the volume control whitch was all the way down.
I kicked them trojans out but first I slapped them around a little bit so they would think twice before messin with decent folk.
