Default Just got a goodie!!

Hello all, Just got a goodie with an update download. It's called "protectionways.c". It has taken over my IE and is in control. It got thru my Zone Alarm and Anonymizer both. Am preparing to start my cleanup battle. Before I start, I was just wondering if anyone has encountered this one and if they were able to get rid of it and by using which software. Can not start until this Sunday pm so any advance suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, R1. (jack)

Thanks Robin. I certainly plan to do that. A couple hours "free time" is not available to me until Sunday. I plan to get things started at that time. As for the experience gathered here, it's a gold mine for a novice like myself. Thanks to all those involved!! R1

Up and running! Thanks for the e-mailer's help! This is a great forum. Words of Caution. Thin twice about where you browse. Thanks again
