Computer Security & Viruses/Thank You

Question
Keith, this isn't a question, but a thank-you and update for helping me.  I had another issue unrelated with OE, so my past emails from you were deleted.  However, I did as you suggested and downloaded malwarebytes.com, in reference to my inability to access McAfee, getting website redirections, and getting messages my virus defs were not updating/installing.  This software immediately picked up about five trojans and once eliminated, the problem resolved completely.  When my McAfee subscription expires, I'm going to download the free virus program you mentioned.  Plus, I think I'll delete the Superspyware and do SpyBot instead. I REALLY appreciate your help.  You spared me $$, because I was ready to call for a tech.
THANK YOU.


Answer
You are very welcome!!
You don't know how much it means to have someone let you know that you helped them out.
I am in school right now getting my degree in networking. I should finish in a year. The reason I am going to school is no one will hire me without a degree. After getting turned down for jobs in IT departments because they don't believe you know anything, you start believing it yourself. When you actually can help people the way I have here it helps me with my confidence. Thanks for letting me know I helped out.
