Thanks for your repsonses, but alas, I am even more confused now than I was before (which is not all that surprising). Malware seems like a mixed bag, and no one mentioned McAffee. I definitely appear to have some bugs already that needs to be *annihilated*. I am willing to pay but unwilling to operate in " safe" mode, if that involves running in "text only mode" or other handicaps.
