Thanks for sharing that Lepplady!! It's been a while since I listened to that great one. Agree with kingricefan that sir Elton is a legend.
Elton John makes ANY song fantastic!
(morgan-this will probably give you nightmares!

(That's the reason I won't push "play!"S

I would love a large cup of that there coffee.

No problem FlakeNoir - but just going to the website will not corrupt your computer. He took a phone call and unless you give them your ip address and allow remote access you are still safe.
I know it is better to be safe than sorry but I already was told by Shaw (our internet provider) that the scammers could only get into Josh's computer, not another one, even if they are connected with a router.
It is just how unethical it all is that gets me - the Canadian government can't even go after these b*stards as almost all of them are offshore i.e. India, Asia, you name it.
We have unplugged his computer and disconnected it. So now I either take it in to a smaller shop (like the one where it was purchased) to see if they can remove any viruses, or just forget about it and maybe get him a new laptop for Christmas.
How annoying are you?
I got 43% though some might argue it should be more. LOL!

Be sure to let the cops look at it before you do anything.
If you'd like I could talk you through a few quick fixes I'd try, even on xp.

Sponge Bob would be absorbing - have you seen that one yet?

I keep trying to get into my other lappie, but so far I'm SOL. Repair place I took it to said the hardware is fine (it runs--you can hear the drive and fan going), but it's badly infected with adware and spyware. They wanted nearly $300 to fix it, which seemed ridiculous to me. If I can just get the first screen to come on, I have a Norton fixer thing (can't remember the name-Power Clean, maybe?) on a flash drive that will clean all viruses, malware, adware, spyware--basically a fresh start--but it has to be put first on the BIOS list…which I can't get into right now because the screen isn't working. *sigh* I REALLY don't want to pay the repair shop, but I might not have any choice.
More than I ever wanted to see--haha!
So would I! Better get to making a fresh pot

We actually did try the "push F8 button as soon as it is fired up" but that solution did not work.Be sure to let the cops look at it before you do anything.

But thanks for all your advice!
(I think Josh and I better get to that bank, as I did not think another party having your debit card number was unsafe unless they have the four digit pin). But I will check with his bank, just the same.)
Having a special needs son is quite trying - he is so vulnerable, trusting, gullible, you name it. It is as if he is wearing a sign saying "please take advantage of me"
I suppose it could be worse. If he was a girl he would be pregnant by now
If you can get into bios, you should be able to reset the barmy thing. You might not have to pay that much for something you can do yourself.
F8 isn't the only option. Try F2 or F12. there are different buttons for different functions.We actually did try the "push F8 button as soon as it is fired up" but that solution did not work.

I got exactly 43% also!
Exactly. But without the screen coming on, I don't know where the hell I am on getting into BIOS. It's so FRUSTRATING.
