Hi again Dale, my desktop was checked. And nothing was found. It seemed to do
that every once in awhile and it was really frustrating. I had to shut it down
to get rid of the blank pop-ups. But I did take it in and they checked it. I am
very good about keeping everything up-to-date and running my virus scan and so
forth. But they couldn't find anything. Knock on wood, it's not doine it in a
long time.

I didn't use to have problems with the red x's before I went to I.E. 7. And of
course even on my laptop with I.E. 8, I still get them. Weird thing is, on my
laptop there are certain sites that will not allow me to access, like they tell
me my cookies are not enabled when I know they are. But same settings on the my
desktop, I can access them. So I've got a few things that really "bug" me about
my computers.

Take care. Hey, it was very hot here yesterday. An ideal day at the beaches if
you were there. Not one cloud in the sky. But this morning, it's starting out
cloudy and temps only in the 60's. Weird weather. Enjoy your summer too.

Hugs,
~Royjean~

pop-ups unless something is wrong. Make sure your antivirus is up to date and
you might want to run an anti-spyware program just to make sure nothing has
infected the machine.
