Sorry but your answer just struck a cord in me because I just had such a bad worm that my antivirus company sent me a custom cleaner which killed all my file associations. I did figure out how to get them back. . well most of them . . but I still need to reformat. The guy who sent the custom cleaner when I called him bawling my head off told me that it was something I got from visiting a website. He looked through my history to try and determine where I got it and how and finally concluded that it was just dumped on me. And they said that they were glad that I had called them with info at hand because others would be calling soon as well. You said that guy couldn't do something that I am not sure that I understand because :


But my antivirus guy says that it is why we get viruses and worms and other nasty things on our pc's. So I guess that what I am really asking is what is the real truth here? I don't need help, I want understanding.


Thanks for not laughing too hard at me tgreer.
