What I have figured out is I definitely have a trojan and found that out by accident - went to symantic page and it gave the sumptoms of (drat I keep forgetting the name - something like f-tran) and sure enough I had the url added to my favorites. Then I accidentally was also made an association to the wierd (I thought) messages that I was getting that looked like they came from roadrunner, telling me I was over quota and need to check not only my inbox but all my boxes - I had deleted that url before I opened the latest of these e-mails and sure enough that url was back in my favorites. What I finally did as a temporary measure (until I get back from vacation on Sunday and can swim or drown in a reformat, was to reinsall both IE and OE and that at least gave me back the ability to click on urls in e-mails - thanks for responding - Dolores ----- Original Message ----- From: "cris" <cris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, July 19, 2004 5:47 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: question #1 regarding ability to click on links in an e-mail and open in OE what are 'all scans' ? did you scan with panda online for viruses? and spybot and ad-aware? or a2? if something is on your computer, it should show up somewhere!!! I'm not good at this stuff if it doesn't show up on scans - but I try a bunch of different ones, because they all seem to look for different things.

Something is obviously on this computer but all my scans show nothing. Anyhow I had problems with outlook express emptying folders at random and a bunch of quirky things. I had to uninstall (for some reason when I took OE 6 off I still have OE5 but it's not listed in the add-remove list) and reinstal four times and now it seems to be okay (fingers crossed!). Today I discovered this newest problem - someone will put a link in an e-mail, I will click on it, OE will open but the address doesn't carry over so I have to manually type the address in. I have looked through all the settings I can think of but maybe have missed one and would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
