Thanks for the advice. I run my av (AVG) almost daily, run Spybot weekly, w/
updating reg., weekly scan and defrag. On some other tech sites I've searched,
the have recomm. deleting the dll file in the msn\msnia\wa, and reinstalling
the dial-up accelerator. I am hesitant to delete any dll file (the last
time I deleted a dll (for another reason), i had to reinstall winme.

Scan for viruses with the latest definitions with your AV scanner before
installing any MSN (or any other file) add-ons. Re-installation because of
wanting to get more from MSN (and that is the root of the problem) is a bit
much. The one site that I was referring to had a ratio of 3 to 7 (in my
experience -- I only downloaded 7 files) that held trojans. The owner of the
site seemed indifferent and kept the files on the server even though there
were uploaded by random users. I went back and checked but that was, I'm
afraid, at least a year and a half ago. Site's still there so be careful on
the 'net huh? Update then scan, double check, doubt, check with other
people, then install... Just advice, do with it as you want but it's been my
motto for years. The old adage about free stuff not being really free is
true and it's time to look gift horses in the mouth. That adage (among a few
about weather) are wrong.
