I just remembered that Pam told me she was running her scans (AdAware and Spybot) at the same time and wondered if that was o.k. I told her it did not sound like a good idea to me. I know you can't have two antivirus scans going at the same time (maybe not even two installed?) Is it possible she was adding to her woes by running those simultaneously? Boy, do I ever wish I could get her to subscribe. But the old adage is still true: " You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink!.
