Thanks for the input Hugh.
You are probably right in that I clicked on something that triggered 
this whole mess. Time pushing is often the culprit and slowing down 
would be the cure.
I have done the "immunize" in Spybot on all 3 of my computers so that's 
done. I have also installed Comodo Firewall Pro on just one so we'll see 
how that works. It appears to be easier to understand vs Sygate so far.

Have a great day
