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.
