I don't know anything technical about this, guess we two (musicians) at FB just waited it out, asked our credit card companies to watch for charges, like an airline ticket from Detroit to NY they claimed I'd bought and were confirming departure date, etc., just want to say don't let anyone hint that you might be nuts. They just haven't been there. Needless to say, don't open phishing attachments, will give you a virus. After Reformat, 4 times in shops, I still can't install things from disks, saw a similar problem in XP forum at CNET, waiting for answer. Repairman didn't reconfig ____? All this is expensive. No charges from phisher went through so don't open attachments to check. Getting Refunds for scans that didn't help, bank just notifies them customer not satisfied, no problem. I'm also AOL, btw.
