Thanks for the link, John. I see it is a good thing I am not relying on Superantispyware alone, according to the author. I've probably asked you before, but if you don't mind, which programs are you recommending these days?

I have spybot, avg, superantispyware, there's one I am forgetting. Oh, adaware as well as the resident MS security center firewall, etc.

greg, if I don't write down my steps, I don't remember them, exactly. Whatever I did allowed me to get the shut down the computer option to give me a drop down menu, previously not shown. Instead of logging off, I usually choose hibernate. It still takes a password to then use the computer so I am happy with that.

As disingenuous as you might be, you know and I know, there is no solution in anything I happen to stumble upon that John and a few others, maybe including yourself, don't already know about.
