First of all, I can not help you with your problem!

BUT, please remove your e-mail addy's from the above post!

Net spiders, progarms that search the web for ***@***.*** will find those in no time!

EDIT:
Try putting a space in those e-mail addy's someplace, like; Joe @ myemail.com

Cool

Windows XP
TCActive and TC Monitor
Norton a/v running, plus auto cablenet a/v, and AVG
Adaware - just did and what also came up were 2 AVG notices of a trojan horse Downloader.Agent.AS - seen before

Free scan result 100% clear not detecting the horse at all, neither did Noadware
