I did find the Run as Administrator -- I was looking at the top bar of Spybot in the START menu and not in the list beneath it. Sorry to have bothered.

I have a new Dell E7500 PC and have installed Spybot S&D on it. I am accustomed to running as admin. on Vista, but do not have that option under Windows 7. How to I get the 2 immunizations...

You're welcome.

Shaba -- I thought you might like to know the outcome of my saga with Avast.

I uninstalled Avast, installed AVG Free, ran a total computer scan on AVG and it showed no indication of any malware ...

Shaba -- I cannot thank you enough for your assistance in this matter. MRyder (I think that was the name), over at the AVAST forum paid you a very high compliment --that you were one of the best. I...

LOL -- but I do have an antivirus software -- AVAST -- but not for long! Too, I have pay Kerio firewall --------- so I'm guessing this is a "standard" response for the world!

One other thing --...

Further up in this thread, there was discussion about old JAVA things I had -- which I have uninstalled those recommended. I still show Java (TM) 6 Update 7 AND Java (TM) SERuntime Environment 6...

Please do. Can you do it here or do you need to email me?

I sure did. This same thing (they didn't go away) happened when cnet had me do the disable/enable task. I've no more restore points either.

OK, I've followed your suggestion re: the restore thing. I also ran another Avast scan and sameo, sameo! Here's what it found + a new one (top line):

No just there.

I'll be gone a few hours and will check back this p.m.

Thanks again for ALL of your help. I appreciate you immensely.

Just read this and I'm not as concerned about those "decompression bombs" as I was -- LOL -- good thing, because Avast certainly is not going to do anything with them in their free antivirus program...

Shaba -- I followed your recommendation and removed the Java items you mentioned. That left 2 Java entries on my PC which are:

Java (TM) 6 Update 7

Java (TM) SERuntime Eivornment 6 Update 1
...

I forgot to post what it says about the things found by Avast when trying to move to the chest. It says -- Error occurred during moving file to chest; program doesn't support this type of archive....

Ok, I have the information; however, I have no clue about how to copy and paste to send to you. I can find no report area in the Avast program. However, I have print screened everything I could...

Will try to get avast info to you after scanning this p.m.
