That's one thing I most certainly need to get before the next time I have to reinstall. It's been a pain in the rear, but not because of attacks, but because all the stuff I put in the "oldstuff" file, isn't working when I try to install it (programs and such), like some parameter or another is missing. I guess it's reinstall everything piece by piece in order to get it all to work. Thanks for all your suggestions--I ended up with some spyware, but I think, no viruses.
