Hi, Mary Ann.

I saw that you called McAfee to assist you remove the program. From a quick look I took in your logs, it seems that several tools have been used during the remote procedure.

I'll repeat here the following, and please have it in mind while we are dealing with the cleaning procedure here:

Do not do anything if there is something you don't understand. Just ask me here.

Do not download anything, unless I ask you to do so.


Is that fine with you? Please, let me know, before we move on.
