I'm glad I made some sort of sense in the end...  :)
There's always a danger of clouding the issue when you post at such 
length.

ML - yes, it can be quite a shock to the system when you discover the 
time you've been wasting [hunting for malware outside of Safe mode]. 
I imagine a lot of people here, even if they don't do it as part of 
their work, like to help out friends and relatives by scanning their 
computers, and I wouldn't like them to waste months of their life, as 
I did at first, scanning to no avail. That's why I'm so emphatic 
about imparting this little tidbit. 
[I have to say, I miss Guitar Man's contributions on subjects like 
this - he was very knowledgable on virii, and always had a healthy 
urge to write about his "collection"; those who feel like a trip down 
memory lane should check out the YahooGroups message archive. <g>] 

Don - thanks for concurring, and yes, reading back, I can see how 
that confusion in my wording could occur - my bad.
