I had one user get hit with the Antispyware2009 dirt. I had to get Panda support to help in removing all parts of it. The tech told me their was at least 28 variations of it. Turned out that it had also downloaded XPantispyware2009. Thus two dirt bags had to removed. Todd Lemmiksoo Network Administrator

They have a special support team which will work with infected users on an individual basis, and they are very good (I had to use them for something else a couple of years ago). -------------------------------------- Richard McClary, Systems Administrator ASPCA Knowledge Management 1717 S Philo Rd, Ste 36, Urbana, IL 61802 217-337-9761 http://www.aspca.org "Cesare' A.
