Gerry:

Thanks for your response.

I have Avast! AntiVirus, Lavasoft's Ad-Aware and Windows Firewall. It was
after running Ad-Aware yesterday that I tried to use System Restore because
it would not remove the Tracking Cookies, and the only way I could get out of
the program was to tell it to ignore same. I didn't want the 34 Tracking
Cookies in my system and tried to fix by calling up System Restore from an
earlier date. As advised, this did not work.

An event that may have some bearing on this problem is that approximately a
month ago I had my Norton AntiVirus program replaced with Avast! AntiVirus.
I also had some memory added at the same time.

Anything you can offer me in the way of a solution would be very much
appreciated. I am somewhat nervous and a novice where System Restore is
involved and would request your indulgence in walking me through any method
of resolving this.

Many thanks.
