Still problems?

Hi Shaba,

All those files have now been deleted.

While doing this, I went into the Mozilla folder under program files, which my Avast online protection warning came up for atleast half a dozen trojan files which I did delete in the process.

It amazes me and looks like alot of these P2P music files are a source of malware.

Internet now appears fine. Further usuage should confirm this.

Is there anything else we need to run or check.
