Many thanks for the information. SpyHunter appeared on my screen with a warning that all kinds of snooping could be going on through my computer WITH AN OFFER OF FREE DOWNLOAD TO COMBAT THE PROBLEM. I downloaded, it performed a scan, sited several file as of "medium" level of danger and one as "serious" or some similar designation. When I tried to use the program to eliminate the "serious" file, I was told I had to purchase it. That's when I went looking for their "uninstall" command and said "bye!"
Again, many thanks for the information.
