   Hi Stan,   
      
   In which case, if you decide to respond to the OP's question,   
   look up the google search links and give them to him.   
   This helps a lot when the poster has already been searching   
   on the wrong search terms.   
      
   I have had a similar issue with searching for Remote Access   
   Tool removers.  Paul found it instantly.  I had the wrong   
   terms: remote assistance.  What a difference one word makes.   
      
   Giving RTFM or Just Google It (the new RTFM) is insulting   
   to the OP.  And we have enough of that crap going around this   
   group as it is.   
      
   And no one is forcing you to read posts.  If you think   
   someone is asking you to do their homework for them,   
   just ignore them.
