    Also be aware that if you try to Google something and start being sent to other sites than what you clicked on, you have been hijacked. I recently lost my entire hard drive due to this, a really vicious virus.

    Thank you for the info. I have had some really nasty comments on one of my blogs but they have been caught. Others that I don't even open recently.
