Wow, thanks Phil.  That sounds like a good possible solution and I'll try 
it.  Supposedly I'm ok now although I still have those two files that I 
can't get rid of (Steve W. when I searched for them in Safe Mode they didn't 
show up but they are still there in regular mode).

I've got 5 different spyware and antivirus programs and a software firewall 
that say my computer is clean but something still isn't right.  This morning 
when my computer was sitting there doing nothing but running the memory 
resident programs and it was showing 100% CPU useage. It's showing the same 
now and all I'm doing is typing this message.  Does anyone know of a utility 
that will tell you what program is using what amount of your rescources on 
the fly?  I sure need one.
