A scan by Norton quarantined both but I don't think completely eradicated it. I've run Malware Bytes and HiJackThis, created log text files from both scans and have tried getting them to the experts on the Norton forum via an attachment. They can't figure out why I can't attach files or edit previous posts. I told them I'd verify that I can still do it here.

that must be frustrating...I mean the virus part.
What sites is she visiting?
A friend of mine's son keeps down loading from Limewire after being told never to do it again...and sure enough, the last time it trashed her computer good.
