This is a nasty little virus. I hope I never get it again. With the information you provided on several of your web pages, patience, and nerves of steel, I was able to delete the virus manually! I REALLY appreciate you providing this service!

THANKS from the bottom of my heart. I don\’t know what I would have done without the information you provided.
