Thanks guys. I do have the latest in antivirus. This machine is 3 weeks old and has been running just fine. For the life of me I cannot figure out where my Poser went. Will see about getting a firewall a.s.a.p. Casamerica...I appreciate your input. How could a person, if this indeed did happen, make my Poser go away? Also, do they now possess all that was my own, orginal stuff? Now, see, I am just not liking this one little bit. Rad...what you said...I already did that when my Poser disappeared. I did search for it as well. It was just gone...:*(. I guess it was somewhere, though, cause system restore worked on it.
