Re: Trying to post, no success.
Brian,
I forgot to tell you I got rid of that lop.com from the Registry just as
soon as it I found it in the Registry History folder. The other 2 never were
installed. So I am safe with those. They tried but did not get in. I now
have all 3 in my *Restricted Zone* I also put the PCSecurityShield in there,
too.
