I'm sure Tom is correct, but a word on behalf of those of us with
self-taught with barely passable computer skills.....true dinasours among
you younger folk who learn this stuff in school.....it's just not that
easy.  My computer was hijacked years ago and I didn't know a thing until I
got a slew of 'undeliverable' messages.  MSN cleaned up the problem, but it
was days before I understood what was going on and over a week before I was
back to normal....or what passes for normal for me.  And I've always had a
paid anti-virus protection package.  It didn't work then and I suspect it
wouldn't stop hackers now.
On the plus side, anyone who knows me knows I am totally incapable of
hacking into, onto, underneath or around anything technical.
