picked it up again. I was intrigued by the word 'restore' in the description the second time around. Trend Micro is unsuccessful in cleaning it.

But my system has not been compromised in terms of speed or performance and the Trend statistical info suggests a high number of computers got this on 3/2 but very few today. A quick scan I did just now did not pick it up again.

Thoughts? Google info is lacking on it but then again I am not a super tech person able to easily dissect the talk.

      - If I were still your friend, I'd take you through which boxes to check and uncheck in your tools/internet settings/advanced screen. - Trish Mar 3, 13:16
