Boy, What a Nightmare!

The information you gave me is the name on my Desktop for network purposes, Paypal would not have THAT info. Plus this is the SECOND time in several weeks I have had an alert. The first time the machine was scanned and cleaned. It found 'something' attached to some labor union documentation from work. I thought then, that was it. Evedently, I am getting it from somewhere else, and have consulted my company Global Information Services for help. AS one appears to have come from their network, the other who knows. But at any rate the machine is in Quarintine! It has NO appearances of any problems and McAfee reports nothing. GIS sent me home with some ZIP disks to load and hopefully will diagnose, trace and clean. Otherwise, I have close to 60 GIG of company data, personal data, etc. to offload! Not an afternoon task! But a task I'm willing to do to make SURE that the machine is clean, I can't take ANY chances with the data and connections I use on a daily basis. I do keep current backups of everything, so I won't lose anything. But it's like cleaning house at the Astrodome! Anyway, I SURE love my laptop! Always a good backup in a pinch.
