Got in touch with our "IT" guy in L.A..  He said it sounded like something =
that hit B of A....and told me to disconnect from the web and reboot and ru=
n three different antivirus programs and "Get a damn firewall set up!"

Ran AVG again, then pqremove.  Nothing found.  Reboot.....The Admin passwor=
d window came up..and disppeared.  A window requresting the Office 2000 Dis=
c 1 came up...again..and disappeared.  And....the email's back!

Unfortunately, as of yet, all of the files are not, although more are there=
 than before.  This time, the My Documents folder, which used to have some =
stuff in it...is empty.  What the @#$%^&* is going on here??!

e U.S. ops, too.  They lost tons of data.

    And when I ran AVG afterwards, it found nothing.

    And Ontrack could find no files to undelete or recover.  The Ontrack ex=
ecutable files were gone, so I ran it from the CD.

    Netscape is about to become my internet program again, or Overture.

    This is way past bad....
