One of the first things I did was boot into Safe Mode, and run SpyBot S&D
1.3, and AdAware SE.

You refer to "Rock's" - I'm not currently seeing a message from him on this
thread, through my Cable-Modem Newsgroup server - odd. I just found it on
Google's Groups, though.

If the User Profile fix doesn't work, I'll explore the other options beyond
what I've already done.

Thanks again, to both of you. Will be back some time tomorrow.
