OK, I kinda doubt he has that but he could.  He rarely gets on IE,
98% of his time is on Outlook, but that 2% is still there waiting
to bite me.

What is odd is that Norton AV won't run, that is a symptom in
several trojans/worms out there which disable NAV.  I fixed a
friends Win machine one time that allowed IE to connect to anything
except several AV sites, in addition to disabling NAV.

I had to remove IE, boot into safe mode, and reinstall it before I
could get to Symantec and download the updates.  Boy, am I thankful
that I run OS/2!
