Hello

[kacdiss]

I'm writing from "snow country" in Vermont. I joined this group to learn more about malware and adware prevention. I doubt I will be of much use to current members because computers hate me! Right now I've [/size][/font]been taken over by something called "Delta" search which is how I discovered this site. I'm about to go hunting for others who have dealt with this so I can make it go away. I've been at it for hours and I thought I finally fixed it but no......It's still hiding somewhere.

Hi,
Thank you for the encouraging greeting. I loved the quote! I hope I was supposed to clear your message. If not, sorry! I have a hard time following these "threads". My eyes are glazing over so I'm going to stop the "hunt for delta" tonight and go play Mahjongg. Cheers!
