in my persuit for a solution it was mentioned that it serves users right for the problems they inherit or pick up on the net.
that doesnt solve the issue though a solution has to be found and the quicker we are able to solve it the better.

use share sites with imesh and other music share programs is a cause and downloading any zipped files from an unreliable source will pick up viruses as are jpeg files. having the right software to deal with it is a great comfort and not having to re-invent the wheel or re-install windows is worth knowing so any knowledge shared is worth sharing if it saves head aches in the future.
learning which sites and activities to avoid certainly is part of this process.
