suepuff,
my hubby deleted the quaranteened items!! Just thought he'd help things out! So, any other ideas?
isn't that always the way only it is always my wife this end

Do you have windows XP as XP has the capability called System Restore. My advice is to use system restore to go back to your last good point ie: before your removed the items.
make sure that any live programs are updated IE: Anti-Virus etc.
Then after you have made sure your webmail issues with earthlink and vt.edu accounts are ok.
open your Ad-aware use the WebUpDate feature to make sure you have the latest Definition file
SE1R104 21.04.2006 and then scan doing a
"Full Scan" and
then post your logfile here by using the
Add-Reply Feature .
As Logs are stored in :
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Lavasoft\Ad-aware\Logs\.
An easy way to get there is to
click Start,
click Run
And type in and press ENTER:
%appdata% then click Lavasoft
then Ad-Aware
and then Logs.
scroll down to find the latest one that you have
(by date & time)and open it right Click select all
copy and then paste the contents of it here.
(Make sure that all of your Logfile has been posted, sometimes it will require two post's to get it all)I recommend that you use the
WebUpDate just before you scan that way you will always be up to date.
(note The Application Data is a hidden folder, so you will need to show hidden files and folders
and for Windows 98/ME users your logs are stored in
C:\WINDOWS\All Users\Application Data\ ) by default
