Hey Jenna......
Sorry, I was out all day. Looks like you are rid of the virus (but I
have my reservations that you had one called 'Benny'.....seeing that it
is not in McAfee's definition list.
Anyway......dump eAnthology and follow the instructions in that link as
I see on the message boards that it is a son of a gun to uninstall. Run
AdAware and make sure no spyware is left behind......and then Kath or
one of the fellows can help you with your Msimn error.
My area of 'expertise' is malware and viruses......not errors, grin.
Best of luck.....Heather
