Yeah, I took care of it as soon as I was notified. I also determined where it
came from and took some steps there.
My daughter used my system the other day when I was out,and got it,and since
I had just reinstalled windows without running anything,I assumed the system
was clean so I never ran a scan on it.
I wish I'd have known about the liste.ska, I'd have read that before I deleted
it all
