After this is a coded area ending with a another::
Outlook_express_message_boundary (comment)
It was a bit hard to get rid of and the computer slowed down. I am guessing
that its a virus of some type, but seeing it was undone in linux it was not
operative, even though it seemed to try.
BTW I have not destroyed this as yet.
On another tack entirely, I had backgrounds working but saw that they were not
those I had listed. They were coming from the same area but it was giving me
'all' and not a selection I had made. I stopped this and now once again no
backgrounds, I assume this is a kde problem.
