Virus update,

Removal of navidad virus was a sucess. I just downloaded a program from my anti-virus website ran it and poof ! I was a true american hero :).

The biggest problem I had was trying to convince her native hp installed mcafee AV program to accept updates. Gave up after an hour and installed a free one from www.cai.com which found a couple more instanced of the navidad virus and killed them. We then went online to see if she spread the infection (she didn't or at least no record) and found some more of her friends looking to infect us. Our AV swatted them and she's running now quite a bit smarter ! As Mcaffee came with the computer she going to talk to tech support later I just didn't want to leave her vunerable even for a day.

Thanks again for everybodys help :)
Rob
