Thanks so much for your replies. I am going over the instructions now
and doing a thorough analysis of my laptop to determine any malicious
threats. So far nothing has been found. I'm running AVG Anti-Spyware
now. Looks like a very nice program and I might just buy it. Nice to
have an Adware and Virus scanner both in the same application.

I'll do the clean boot after these scans are done.

I'd love to find an application and bandwidth monitor that tells me
what applications are using what bandwidth. Something easy to
understand, too. I have found lots of bandwidth meters but haven't
seen any that meter by application.
