friends we're staying with until our place is available(long story) had 15 seperate viruses and 1(one) worm. fixed em up. their computer was freezing about every half-hour or so. things seem to be working a lot smoother now. couldn't fix all the errors, but think i got most of them. not all of us are computer geniuses. but i did what i could. didn't want to traipse around in the daisies too much, might trample something important by accident. thanks for the hook-up bub
