I must hand it to you! I finally solved my issues with both PriCechhop and NextCOup, thanks to your instructions and the two programs you pointed to. To all those out there, I must say that they have to be patient with Zoek because it may take more than a few minutes. Just wait until it finishes while you brew some coffee or something Now, my question is: Are the two programs still residing in my PC or did they self-destruct, after finishing their job? I turned back on Microsoft Security Essentials which I use as protection (a whole lot of good it did in real-time protection...). Again, thanks for your generous support in addressing my concerns. Cheers!
