When it came back 'negative', I checked the MBAM forums. Even the best programs can and will FP - it is nice to have a programmatical consensus available online. When online is not possible, it is nice to have an alternative program available locally for a second opinion.

Avira doesn't find anything. All is well. My 12/3 update installed 3287 and the scan indicated problems I stated. Today (12/4) I updated and installed 3289, full scan showed zero problems. One curious note: I don't recall having to re-start the computer after yesterday's update. Today I received and responded to that message. Thanks for all your replies.

FTR, Do you imagine, in the scenario described above, either entity functioning well enough to make it to that point? Regards, Len Agoado agoado(a)msn.com
