[QUOTE="Stephen, post: 157065, member: 17977"] I am still, in my own mind, trying to figure out how I got the original Browser lock malware. I do not ever install on a prompt I receive while browsing various sites. However, there are times that I end up on a page I do not want to be on and find that if I hit the back arrow on the browser or try to close the tab itself, a popup comes on asking if I really want to leave the page I opened and now wish to leave. Does saying Yes, I confirm I wish to leave the page constitute a way for spy ware to be installed? In order to get away from the page popup I would have to use the Task Manager to close the browser in that case without availing a spy ware to be loaded. (PS - I was, and presently am, a bit hesitant to continue this interactive conversation as I do not wish to burden your available time. Please let me know the etiquette on this now that the original problem is well solved by you.) Thank you again for your help. Stephen [/QUOTE]
