[AT] Starting over

[charlie hill]

Hi Steve,

Thanks.  I think I finally killed them all but just to make sure I have
reset XP to a date before the problem.  If I get time tonight I'll check out
your links and do some more sleuthing for stuff that should not be on my
system.


Thanks again,

Charlie
