AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Then followed, literally, several pages of numbers, letters and symbols like the line and a half I included in the paste.
I have spent the last week and a half downloading everything that's supposed to prevent worms, viruses, etc, and also downloaded everything MSN has on their site.
It sure looks like my computer has, at least a bad cold, if not a virus!
Anybody got any ideas?
