He sent me this email:
Trojan Horse Down loader generic AMM

Also have a message that 180search assistant was removed by 3d party, I suspect an anti spy ware program.

I do not think I need it. Do you know what it is?

A Virus scan at Boot might be a good idea. Try Avast! and once it's Installed it'll ask if you want to do a Boot virus Scan, choose Yes, Restart, and let it work. The downside to this is that it takes hours and it will stop everytime it finds a Virus and ask you for Input. So you'll need to be close by for a few hours(depending on the amount of HD capacity) for it to complete. It does a great job though.

Probably need to run a varity of virus scanners and antispyware. I like Pandasoftware's online scanner. It's free and it always seems to find viri that Norton and Antivir miss.
